Mushroom!


As usual, I went to the market today to buy food for the next 7 days. While browsing at a vegetable stall, I saw a basket of wild mushrooms! And these are not the oyster mushrooms that are cultivated in farms. These are the ones that you only find on anthills after rain, only if you are lucky. I heard a pakcik mentioned - these are grown by God. Hmm... interesting..

So I got myself about 400grams of these mushrooms and I was happy. How do I cook these mushrooms you asked? My favourite, a simple mushroom soup. Not the creamy type, just water, sliced garlic and a bit of sliced onion, lemon grass, some anchovies (not the ones you put in the ceasar salad) and salt. Just bring all these ingredients to a boil, the put in the mushrooms. Cook for about 3-4 minutes. Done! At lunch, I have white rice with the mushroom soup, with sambal belacan and fried catfish. Heaven!
