How to Make Stir-Fried Lettuce, Wood Ear Mushrooms, and Eggs

Stir-fried lettuce, wood ear mushrooms, and eggs is a quick, nutritious, and flavorful Chinese dish. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to make it at home.

Ingredients:

- 1 head of lettuce (romaine or iceberg), washed and torn into bite-sized pieces

- 50g dried wood ear mushrooms, soaked until soft and sliced

- 2 eggs, lightly beaten

- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 tbsp cooking oil

- Salt, 1 tsp soy sauce, 1/2 tsp sugar, and a pinch of pepper for seasoning

Steps:

1. Prep the ingredients: Soak wood ear mushrooms in warm water for 20 minutes, then drain and slice. Wash lettuce and dry thoroughly. Beat eggs in a bowl with a pinch of salt.

2. Cook the eggs: Heat 0.5 tbsp oil in a wok over medium heat. Pour in the beaten eggs, scramble until set, then remove and set aside.

3. Stir-fry mushrooms and garlic: Add the remaining oil to the wok. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant, then add wood ear mushrooms. Stir-fry for 2 minutes.

4. Combine and season: Add lettuce to the wok, stir-fry until it wilts (about 1-2 minutes). Return the scrambled eggs to the wok. Drizzle in soy sauce, sugar, and pepper. Toss everything evenly.

5. Serve: Cook for another 30 seconds, then transfer to a plate. Enjoy hot with steamed rice!

This dish balances crisp lettuce, chewy mushrooms, and tender eggs, making it a healthy and satisfying meal. Adjust seasoning to taste and feel free to add a drop of sesame oil for extra aroma!
