I love ‘Black Fungus’, that is an edible wood fungus similar to mushrooms. It’s a bad naming, isn’t it? You may call it by a different name. This is a quick and easy rice bowl, but it takes time to soften Dried Black Fungus. Start soaking them in water at least 30 minutes before you start cooking.

Steps

10 minutes plus soaking time

1

Soak Dried Black Fungus in water until softened. You can use hot water to speed up. Wash very well, drain, and cut in half if large.
2

Cut thinly sliced Pork into bite-size pieces and lightly season with Salt & White Pepper. Whisk Egg in a bowl and lightly season with Salt & White Pepper.
3

Combine all the Sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
4

Heat Oil in a small frying pan and cook Egg. Transfer to the bowl that you used to whisk the Egg OR a plate, and set aside.
5

Add a small amount of Oil to the frying pan if required, I didn’t add any, cook Pork and Black Fungus until Pork is nicely browned.
6

Stir the Sauce well, then add it to the pan. Cook until the Sauce is thick, then return the cooked Egg, and mix to combine.
7

Half fill a bowl with warm Cooked Rice and cover it with the mixture, sprinkle with some finely chopped Spring Onion, and enjoy.
