If you don't use an entire can of mushrooms, store the remaining portion in fresh water; it will keep in the refrigerator for several days. Fried tofu has a wrinkled look, is golden brown in color, and can be found in most natural food stores and Asian markets. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch, soy sauce, and sugar with the water and set aside.
Cut each piece of tofu into long slices, then cut each slice into bite-sized triangles. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a wok.
Stir-fry the bamboo shoots with a sprinkle of water. Remove to a plate with a slotted spoon. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil and stir-fry the peas with a dash of salt until the color changes. Repeat with the mushrooms. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and gently stir-fry the tofu. When the tofu is hot, return all the other ingredients to the wok and stir in the cornstarch mixture. Serve immediately. Pearl Chen is a member of a mushroom society in Hong Hong.
Serve this dish along with a main dish, Western style, or together with several other Asian dishes for guests to share Chinese style. Place a wok or heavy skillet over high heat. When almost smoking, add the oil.
Add the garlic and stir-fry until golden. Discard the garlic. Add the straw mushrooms and the crab meat and cook over medium heat for 2 minutes. Remove the mixture to a serving dish with a slotted spoon. Quickly add the chicken broth and cornstarch mixture to the wok. Beat the egg whites until mixed but not foamy and stir them into the chicken broth mixture. Pour the broth over the straw mushrooms and sprinkle with chopped ham. The oyster sauce used in this recipe is a thick concentrate made of oysters and soy sauce commonly used in Chinese cuisine and found in Asian markets.
A bottle will keep without refrigeration almost forever. Cut the flank steak crosswise into very thin strips. In a mixing bowl, combine the sherry, soy sauce, sugar, and garlic. Add the meat and marinate for 20 minutes. To prepare the sauce, add the cornstarch to the water and mix well. Add the oyster sauce and sugar and blend. Set aside.
To a large wok or skillet over moderate-high heat, add the oil. When very hot, add the meat and marinade. Cook and stir about 2 minutes, or until no longer pink. Do not overcook the meat. Remove the meat from the skillet and leave some of the juices. Add the broccoli, onion, carrot, and peas and stir to coat with oil and juices.
Stir in the 2 tablespoons water to create more steam and cover. Cook a few minutes until the vegetables are semi-cooked. Add the mushrooms, stir, and cover.
Solar pasteurize media separately in the sun by wrapping it in plastic for 3 days. You can also steam the substrate for 2 hours at F if you are not able to wait 3 days. Step 4. Lay the media out in stripes alternating between the wheat straw and cotton waste on the tarp. Step 7. Cover the media loosely with another tarp out of direct sunlight.
If you are in a cooler climate covering in the sunny area is acceptable. Try to keep the temperatures of the inner media as close to F and not exceed F for too long.
Step 8. After 2 days, remove the cover and inspect the area where your spawn was placed. Look for a fine web like growth spreading from where you added spawn. Increase the air flow without allowing the substrate to dry out.
Step 9. Lift the plastic to create a humidity tent, a small hoop house like structure. Can be done. TIP: Paddy straw has overwintered in our spent oyster mushroom compost which stays warm in South Carolina. Harvest the fruiting bodies while they are still in an egg stage for best storage. These mushrooms will keep in a paper bag in the fridge for a few days.
You can also dry them out, and store them in an airtight container until ready to cook with. After the harvest, the bed will rest, and then fruit once more. Then the substrate is ready for cultivating another species called Almond Portabella blog coming soon. You can also compost this media with worms for a beautiful and rich soil for your plants. Experiment with other cellulose and nitrogen rich substrate like spent cotton waste, sugar cane waste, dried hyacinth, hemp fiber, beet pulp, and others.
Is it used to cold sanitize the substrate? Please advise Thanks Carlos. I have edited the post, thanks for noticing that. You would add 1 tablespoon of hydrated lime per gallon of water used to soak in baby pool. We had such limited success with this mushroom largely due to humidity not being high enough.
Is there another mushroom that do ok in a bit drier condition? Thanks, Shari. Tradd's Book. Mushroom Mountain University.
