Stir-Fry Broccoli With ' Abalone Mushrooms '

For the last few weeks, our department had been organizing the Raya parties for their staffs. This is the norm in our department for each section to invite colleagues from different sections to attend their raya parties. The local malay raya food will be served like the lemang ( glutinous rice cooked in bamboo ) , chicken & beef satay ( bbq chicken & chicken in skewer ), Laksa , Roti Jala ( Net Bread - a kind of crepe/pancake eaten together with curry ) , Nasi Impit ( malay compact rice cake ) and lots of local malay delicacies . After this sinful  indulgence , my weight would have increased by at least a kilogramme :(

Eating simple , especially more veggies and fish dishes in my meal will be great for me after all those heavy stuff I had taken . Thus, this simple stir- fry broccoli ( my Piggies called this ' little green trees ' when they were young ) with ' abalone mushroom ' was a great comfort food for me :)

To make this stir fry broccoli taste better, I added  'abalone mushroom ' and make a tasty thickening for the dish. Most chinese likes to add cooking wine to their stir fries and I am one of them :) and garlic is  a must have item in my stir fries. Just this two magic ingredients will be enough to bring out a delicious stir fry broccoli !  Being a die hard fan of mushrooms....needless to say ' abalone mushroom ' was not left out in this preparation. I chose this mushroom for its crunchy and chewy texture....a delight for a light meal. I can chomp chomp the whole dish all by myself :p

you can add in carrots and sweet peas

for extra nutrients :)

love the shrooms ........
