Tumis Jamur dan Telur dengan Saus Ankake

Langkah-langkah

1. Gather all the ingredients.

2. Trim off and discard the bottom of ½ package shimeji (brown beech) mushrooms. Separate the mushrooms into small clusters. Next, remove the stems from 2 caps shiitake mushrooms and cut the caps into thin slices.

3. Cut and separate the green and white parts of 2 green onions/scallions. Thinly slice each part and set them aside separately.

4. In a small bowl, combine all the ankake sauce ingredients: ½ cup chicken stock/broth, 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp rice vinegar (unseasoned), ½ Tbsp sugar, ½ tsp doubanjiang (spicy chili bean paste), and ½ Tbsp potato starch or cornstarch. Whisk them all together and set aside.

5. Crack 3 large eggs (50 g w/o shell) into a small bowl and beat them with a whisk.

6. Heat a wok or a large frying pan on medium high heat. Once it’s hot, add 1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil and swirl it around to coat the cooking surface of the wok.

7. Add the white parts of the green onions and the mushrooms and stir to coat with the oil.

8. Once the mushrooms are wilted and have nice char marks, transfer them to a tray or plate.

9. Heat the wok again on medium-high heat. Once it’s hot, add 2 Tbsp neutral oil and swirl it around to make sure it coats the cooking surface of the wok.

10. Once the smoke starts to appear from the edge of the wok, add the beaten eggs. With a blunt-end wooden spatula, swirl the loosely set egg around the pan to continue cooking the rest of the egg. Tip: Keep the curds nice and big so the eggs stay fluffy.

11. When the bottom of the egg is set but the top is not yet fully cooked, add the mushrooms back to the wok.

12. Quickly toss everything together and transfer to a serving plate or individual plates. Tip: For the best texture, remove the dish from the pan when the eggs are almost set but still soft.

13. Whisk the sauce mixture one last time, making sure the starch is not settled on the bottom of the bowl. Add the mixture to the same wok over medium heat. Stir and bring the sauce to a simmer.

14. Stir gently as the sauce thickens. It’s done when you can draw a line through the sauce on the bottom of the pot.

15. Add the green part of the green onions to the sauce and stir quickly. Turn off the heat and drizzle the sauce over the stir-fried mushrooms and eggs. Serve immediately.

16. You can keep the leftovers in an airtight container and keep them for 3 days in the refrigerator or for up to a month in the freezer.
