Wow, here’s one very delicious mushroom recipe. Look at the image. Can’t you just feel the juice squirting out from the fat mushrooms?

This recipe is called Braised Mushrooms Deluxe and it is a very common dish during Chinese New Year. Why only Chinese New Year? Because mushrooms are considered “luxury” and the Chinese will only normally bring out all the good and expensive stuff during Chinese New Year.

However, mushrooms are common now and we do not have to wait for importers to import mushrooms only to celebrate Chinese New Year, you know? Try this recipe out and let me know how you like it. Oh yes, it serves four to five persons.
