Today I've been craving for some of this particular Chinese cooking dish style and coincidently I have all the ingredients at home. So it's time to cook!
I used to remember my mom cooking this during my childhood years and she used to call the black fungus as elephant ears.🤣
Because it does looks like one too. 😝
So this time I'm cooking this dish myself without any assistance.
I will be cooking for two person so most of the ingredients ratio I will just estimated it just enough for two pax.
