Ingredients
King oyster mushrooms 200 g
Egg tofu 1 piece
Wood ear mushrooms 100 g
Tomatoes 2 piece
Implementation Steps
01
Prepare the ingredients
First, soak 1 wood ear mushroom in warm water for about 30 minutes until soft. Wash the king oyster mushrooms, cut off the tops and hollow out the centres with a knife for stuffing. Wash and finely chop the tomatoes.
02
Make the stuffing
Put the mushroom tops and the hollowed-out centres in a food processor. Add the egg tofu and tapioca starch, and season with vegetarian seasoning powder, vegetarian fish sauce, sugar, MSG and ground pepper to taste. Blend until smooth.
03
Steam the vegetarian squid
Stuff the filling into the king oyster mushrooms. You can prick the mushrooms with a toothpick so they hold more filling and it doesn't bulge out during steaming. Now you have stuffed vegetarian 'squid'. Steam for about 15 minutes until cooked.
04
Make the tomato sauce
Fry the minced shallots until fragrant, then add the chopped tomatoes and stir-fry until soft. Season the tomatoes with vegetarian seasoning powder, vegetarian fish sauce, sugar, MSG and ground pepper to taste. When the tomatoes have thickened slightly, add the steamed vegetarian squid, simmer for about 5 minutes and turn off the heat.
05
The finished dish
Your vegetarian squid in tomato sauce is ready. Transfer to a plate and slice the 'squid' into rings as you like. Enjoy with hot rice!
