Ingredients

  • 250 gr cauliflower
  • 150 gr chicken thigh fillet
  • 100 gr white mushroom portabella
  • 100 gr wood ear mushroom kikurage
  • 3 cloves garlic

Seasoning

  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 2 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp cooking wine

Slurry

  • 2 tsp corn flour
  • A little water

Instructions

  • Cut the cauliflowers by the stems in smaller bites. Wash, drain, and set aside. Slice the chicken thigh fillet in bite sizes or cubes. Set aside. Slice the wood ear mushroom and other mushrooms you want to use. Set aside. Mince the garlic or just crush it. Prepare seasonings in a small bowl. Also prepare the corn starch slurry.
  • Heat some oil in a wok. Put the minced garlic once the oil is hot. Let it fry until a little bit golden brown. Put in the chicken fillets, the mushrooms. Stir fry a while. Pour in the seasonings. Stir with spatula.
  • Pour in some water. Put in the cauliflower. Stir and fold a few times. Let it boil to cook the cauliflowers. Pour in some more water if you like more broth. Stir to distribute the seasonings evenly.
  • Pour in the cornstarch slurry. Cover with lid for 1 minute or two. The broth should thicken by now and you may serve it on a plate.

Notes

  • If you buy dried wood ear mushroom, you need to rehydrate them first. Soak them in cold water for 1 - 2 hours or until soft. Do not soak the dried kikurage too long.
  • After you have thrown in the cauliflower, stir fry and cover with the wok lid for 1-2 minutes. This will cook the cauliflower but still making it crunchy.
  • Cornstarch slurry needs to be stirred first before pouring into the wok.
  • If you find the broth too thick, add more water. You can omit the cornstarch slurry, if you prefer.
