Stir-fried fungus and yam
Step one: prepare ingredients
One yam, scrape the outer skin and cut it into even thin slices. We are processing the yam. It is best to wear gloves when doing this to avoid skin allergies. Half a red pepper and cut into diamond-shaped slices. Prepare an appropriate amount of fungus and soak it in cold water for 2 hours. Soak the fungus thoroughly and let it fully absorb the water and swell, so as to avoid the fungus suddenly expanding due to heat when frying. Prepare another green onion, cut into shreds and set aside.
Step 2: Squeeze scallion oil
Heat the pot, add more vegetable oil, when the oil temperature is 50% hot, pour in the shredded scallions, turn on low heat and fry, stirring frequently. The green onions inside are fried. When the shredded green onions are fried dry and golden brown, pour them out. The vegetables fried with green onion oil will be more fragrant.
The third step: blanch the water
After boiling the water in the pot over high heat, drain the yam and fungus and pour them out of the pot. Blanching is to make the ingredients fresher. It is easy to fry, and the second is to release the excess water in the fungus to prevent the cold water from meeting the hot frying pan. Cook for about 30 seconds, add red pepper slices and boil the water for a while, then pour in water and let it cool down to prevent the ingredients from softening under the residual temperature.
Step 4: Cook and stir-fry
Heat the pot again, add the freshly fried scallion oil, pour the fungus, yam and red pepper into the strainer to control the moisture. When the oil is 50% hot, pour the side dishes into the pot and stir-fry evenly. Be sure to drain the side dishes when adding them to the pot, otherwise the oil will splash everywhere. Then add 2 grams of salt, a little sugar to enhance freshness, and 1 gram of MSG, turn to high heat and stir-fry quickly to dissolve the seasoning. Add a little water starch to increase the adsorption power of the seasoning, pour in a little clear oil to brighten the color, stir well and then serve on a plate.
