Braised Shiitake Mushrooms and Roasted Chestnuts
Ingredients
- 200g roasted chestnuts
- 3 spring onions, white and green parts separated
- 1.5 tsp dark soy sauce
- 1 tbs shaoxing wine
- large pinch of white sugar
- 2 tbs oil
Preparation
Bruise the ginger and white spring onion segments by bashing them with the back of a knife. Cut green spring onion into 1 inch segments.
Heat a wok or pot, add oil then throw in bruised spring onions and ginger. Stir fry for a couple minutes until aromatic.
Add shiitake. Don't stir shiitake often, rather let sit and brown on the bottom of the pan, stirring only occasionally. It should take about 5 mins to brown. Deglaze with shaoxing wine.
Add stock, sugar, soy sauce. Cover and simmer for 10 mins. Turn off heat, add spring onion greens, mix well. Serve with rice
