I cooked this dish quite often, as I love to eat the soft black fungus with white rice.
This recipe appeared in Mum's Favourite Dishes cookbook (妈妈暧心菜) too. It is such a simple and comfort dish. Three main ingredients in this dish are chicken, black fungus and ginger, and I addded needle mushrooms.

ReplyDeleteAh Tze, my mum cook this at home quite often. I love the black fungus. I hardly cook this dish myself, so I come here to "tumpang" hehe..
ReplyDeleteIndeed this is a great comforting dish to eat after a long stressful day...Yum!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a kid, whenever my mom cooks this, the fungus gets walloped first, not the chicken, LOL.
ReplyDeleteAh Tze, how come u know I love black black dish huh?
ReplyDeleteI will going to cook this dish during this coming weekends... My son will love it very much ...
Black fungus is good for health ...
Hanushi, I get the purple sweet potato from Bukit Timah Plaza NTUC Finest. It skin is purple in colour and the fresh is purple too. The price depends on it weight, usually they packed it 3-4 pieces in one pack with not more than $2. I prefer to buy from wet market as the purple sweet potato there is better quality, can last longer than what I get from NTUC finest. The last round I got the purple sweet potato was from the wet market near to Chinese Garden MRT, the one opposite the swimming pool.
