Stir Fried Yum Bean and Black Woody Fungus

The next dish is one of the favourites that my mom taught me, so this is kind of a traditional dish, hopefully everyone likes it.

Ingredients: (serves 3-4)

1kg Yum Bean (skinned and finely sliced, as thin as possible!)

80g Black Woody Fungus (pre-soaked until soft and sliced thinly)

2 tbsp Brown Sugar

1 tsp Salt

3 tbsp Black Pepper Powder (cut less to taste)

2 tbsp Light Soy Sauce (add more to taste)

10g Dried Shrimp (soaked in water before use)

3 cloves Garlic (finely chopped)

2 slices Ginger (finely chopped)

2 tbsp Vegetable oil

Water as required

Method:

1. In a heated wok, add dried shrimp, stir-fry for a minute until fragrant. Add in chopped garlic and ginger, stir fry for another couple of minutes before adding vegetable oil.

2. Stir in sliced black woody fungus, add sugar at this point. Continue to stir-fry all the time.

3. Add in sliced yum bean, mix the ingredients well, add all the seasoning at this point apart from the black pepper powder. That has to go in phase by phase.

4. Continue to stir fry and add pepper every now and then (remember only 3tbsp). Add water as required as well, to prevent the dish from going dead dry.

5. Check if the yum bean can be easily cut into two, the dish is basically done, serve hot.
