Stir Fry Pumpkin With Abalone Mushroom And Fresh Wood Ear Mushroom


I love all types of mushrooms , fresh or canned type.  I bought a can of abalone mushroom some months back and last week , while looking through the kitchen cabinet, found a can of mushroom that is quite near to expiry date.   I told WB that we must cook it straight away or we will have to throw  it away.  I have no idea what to do with it but thanks to WB 's suggestion to cook a vegetarian dish with it. Luckily, there is still a wedge of pumpkin left in the fridge, some fresh baby corns, wood ear mushroom.  With the addition of the abalone mushrooms, this simple stir fry dish looks impressive :) And of course it tasted good with some crispy garlic slices garnishing added to it.  And what more it is a healthy dish.
