Braised Dried Scallop Shimeji Mushroom with Spinach

I learnt to cook this dish from my office cooking demo. The chef is from a restaurant in a club house. And i cooked it last week, but i din take a picture of it. Because it taste really nice and the sauce taste very much like shark fin soup, i would like to share. Is not difficult to cook but quite a number of steps. But they can be done over a period of few hours.

That day i cook this, i forgot to bring back the recipe, so i omitted the chicken stock and still very nice, so may be u can omit the chicken stock if you find difficult to prepare the stock.

Enyzme Book

This book i got it from bookfest at suntec city. This book talk about enzyme making using oligo & wild honey but used lesser lemon, some of them din even use lemon. Mainly are mixture of fruits (at least 2 type of fruits or more) very different from the other book which used rock sugar & lemons. Also the consumption is different.

The other book also can be found at the bookfest, they are placed side by side....and both have less 20% discount. The bookfest will end on 23 Dec.

Enzyme -Tomato

Friday harvested my 1st batch of tomato, it taste really good! my girls like it. So decided to make 1 more using oligo....hahaha. it is really tasty not so strong of wine smell though has tomato smell...:D

Using a 2-litres container

Tomato - 1 -1.5 kg

Rock sugar - 300 - 400g

can divide them into 3 portion, place tomato then rock sugar, repeat the process until the 3rd portion place in then seal with plastic food wrap and cap.
