Stew Pork With Shitake Mushroom

Have too much of Shitake mushroom, and don't know what to do with it in less than two months? This is what I have come out with. But of course if you don't have, Shitake mushroom, you can get it almost anywhere. For people in Simferopol, you can get them in the central market, some stalls selling "limited" Asian ingredients or in Metro occasionally.

Ingredients :

800g of Pork (In big pieces , preferably...and with some fats??)
10 small (5 if big) Shitake Mushroom (Soaked in hot water till soften)
5 cloves of Garlic (chopped)
100g of Ginger (Sliced)



Marinate pork for an hour or two with :
2 teaspoons Five Spice Powder
3 tablespoons Light Soy Sauce
A dash of pepper
1 tablespoon Sesame Oil

Additional Seasoning :

a) 2 tablespoon Dark Soy Sauce
b) 3 tablespoons Light Soy Sauce
c) 1 tablespoon Oyster Sauce
d) 4 or 5 tablespoons Sugar
e) A pinch of Pepper
f) 1-1.5 teaspoons Salt




Method :
1. Add 2-3 tablespoons of oil in pan.
2. Sauté garlic , then add ginger.
3. Add sliced Shitake mushroom, continue to sauté (Pic D).
4. Add pork.
5. Add (a-c) then add (d).
6. Add hot water just like in picture F.
7. Transfer into a pot and add hot water to simmer with low fire until meat is tender (Pic G).
8. Stir once in a while and also add water if it dries up before meat is tender.
9. When meat is tender, add (e & f). Then, allow the water to thicken a bit into gravy-like.
10. Serve with rice and fresh sliced cucumber

P/S : Ah Bear (the super chef) said hor, that after I finish cooking and cleaning up, right, there is still trace of fragrance left in the kitchen. Not trying to show off...but I can't keep to be happy hehehe

Super Thickened gravy-like (Because I forgot to check on it :P)
I actually prefer it with a little bit more sauce
