Vegetable Stew/ Hokkien 'Chap Chye'

I grew up eating this dish ,it's my mom favourite dish , but I regretted not asking her how she cooked it. I tried to replicate it but somehow it doesn't taste the same . Well, I guess each has her own technique of cooking a dish. But it is still delicious. I used local Cameron cabbage, dried shiitake, glass noodles and red beancurd. A great vegetarian stew which the Hokkien called it 'Chap Chye'.
