Found some old Chinese cook books while visiting my parents last weekend, this dish is actually something we order in restaurants or serve for special occasions, but the recipe didn’t look difficult, so I decided to give it a try tonight. Wow, the sauce is soo delicious, even little girl didn’t complain about having her vegi…

hi! i want to make this recipe. i have two questions: do you know how much mushroom flavored water you used? second question: do you know how much water you used when you added the water to the corn starch to dissolve? i really am a newbie to cooking, so i am one of those who need step by step directions. haha thanks!
Hello there! I usually use enough hot water to cover the dried shitake mushrooms in a small bowl, maybe about 1/3-1/2 cup of water? As for the corn starch, 2 table spoons of water should be sufficient. Let me know how it turns out!
a great dish! we just love it! thanks for telling me the measurements. knowing me, i would have used 1 cup of water to dissolve the corn starch. haha thanks again for sharing your recipes!
Hahahah, yeah I think 1 cup of water might be just a tad too much! Glad this recipe worked well for you also!
