I haven’t blogged for more than a month now. I have been busy with my post graduate degree. It’s an online education and I have to study on weekends. Also, these past few months were really hot. I can’t stand the heat in the kitchen.
Last September, Jolly send me some of their products for me to make my own recipes. The package includes their mushroom products, canned corns, grass jelly, canned peach, cream of mushroom, rice noodles, cooking oil to name a few. Today, I got the chance to cook one of their item. Since I’m done with my two courses, I decided to take a break and cook using their items.
I love mushrooms, all kinds, dried, fresh and canned. For this recipe, I will be using Jolly’s Whole Mushroom. We are Jolly products user since their product is really affordable compared to other products. Affordable and yet the quality is still good. Okay, just a reminder, this is not a paid advertisement, I’m just stating the facts.
Like what I’ve said, I love mushrooms. You can just sauteed it in garlic and butter and you are good to go. For this recipe, I will be cooking deep fried mushroom in salted egg sauce. Salted egg is a thing right now and few weeks ago when we went to Singapore, my colleagues bought tons of Irvins Salted Egg Chips and Fish Skins. I love their Salted Egg Fish Skins. So I thought why not incorporate it into the fried mushrooms.
This recipe is a good appetizer or a beer accompaniment.
