How to Make Stir-Fried Black Fungus with Yam

Stir-fried black fungus with yam is a nutritious and delicious Chinese dish, celebrated for its crispy texture, earthy flavors, and health benefits. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to prepare it.

Ingredients:

- 100g dried black fungus (soaked in warm water until soft, then sliced)

- 1 medium yam (peeled and sliced into thin rounds)

- 2 cloves garlic (minced)

- 1 green onion (chopped)

- 1 tbsp soy sauce

- 1 tsp oyster sauce

- ½ tsp sugar

- 1 tbsp cooking oil

- Salt to taste

Instructions:

1. Prep the ingredients: Soak the black fungus for 20 minutes until plump, then trim and slice. Peel the yam, slice it uniformly (about 2mm thick), and soak in water to prevent browning. Drain before cooking.

2. Stir-fry the yam: Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add yam slices and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until slightly tender. Remove and set aside.

3. Cook the black fungus: In the same wok, add a little oil if needed, then sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Add the black fungus and stir-fry for 2 minutes.

4. Combine and season: Return the yam to the wok. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir-fry for 1 minute until well-coated.

5. Garnish and serve: Turn off the heat, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and mix gently. Serve hot as a side dish or with steamed rice.
