Ingredients for Dry Pot Tea Tree Mushrooms

400 g rehydrated tea tree mushrooms, 1 red bell pepper, 30 g fried garlic cloves, 20 g chili sauce, appropriate amounts each of oyster sauce, refined salt, white sugar, dark soy sauce, MSG, red chili oil and sesame oil, and a little cilantro.

The Method for Making Dry Pot Tea Tree Mushrooms

2. Heat a clean wok, add the red chili oil and heat it up, first add the chili sauce and oyster sauce and stir-fry until fragrant, then pour in the tea tree mushrooms and stir-fry, add a little clear water, season with refined salt, white sugar, dark soy sauce and MSG, simmer briefly, then add the fried garlic cloves and red bell pepper pieces and stir-fry evenly.

3. Finally drizzle in the sesame oil, remove from the heat and transfer into a small pot, garnish with cilantro, and serve with an alcohol burner.

Tips for Dry Pot Tea Tree Mushrooms

1. When soaking dried chili peppers in water, be sure to choose ones with stems. Wipe the surface moisture off the peppers before stir-frying, otherwise the oil will splatter during cooking.

2. When making dry pot tea tree mushrooms, the dried tea tree mushrooms must be fully rehydrated. Tea tree mushrooms that have not been properly rehydrated will have a dry, tough texture rather than a moist one.

3. Personally, I think pork bone broth is best. If you do not have it, you can also use stock granules or clear water. When using clear water, you can add chicken bouillon, so that the tea tree mushrooms will have a base flavor.

4. When making this dish, be sure to add a little cilantro, because cilantro contains many volatile oils that can enhance the aroma.

5. Except in summer, in other seasons you can place solid alcohol under the pot to heat and keep it warm, adding to the atmosphere.
