She Loves Her Shrooms
I'm one of those lucky Mummy who has no problem feeding her girl greens. Gwen loves eating veggies compared to meat. She prefers veggies that are crunchy like capsicums, cucumbers, carrots..and other veggies as well such as tomatoes, spinach, broccoli and the list goes on.
I don't know why she loves eating mushrooms so much. Sometimes Gwen would ask me whether I cook any mushrooms for lunch/dinner or not. -__- That is why I cook dishes with mushrooms quite often (several days a week).
Here are some of the dishes I've prepared for my family where each dish has mushrooms as one of the main ingredients. Nowadays, I buy mostly fresh mushrooms from the supermarket.
Last week, I cooked this king oyster mushroom dish which I got the recipe from my "Assorted Lunch Boxes" cookbook. Guess what...Gwen loved it!
Taiwanese King Oyster Mushroom
Here's the recipe to share (and also for my record).
Taiwanese King Oyster Mushroom
Ingredients
200g king oyster mushroom - sliced
10g basil leaves
2 red chillies - seeded, sliced
5 pcs red dates - soaked in water to soften
2 tbsp rice wine
2 tbsp light soya sauce
1 tsp sugar
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp sesame oil
Method
1. Heat sesame oil, fry chillies for a while, add in red dates and mushrooms, fry over high heat for 3 mins, add in wine, soya sauce & sugar, cook till sauce is slightly caramelised, add salt, pepper & basil leaves.
As I did not have any basil leaves, I substituted the basil leaves with some green onions.
Gwen the "Shroom girl" licked the plate clean..LOL. She ate the red chillies too.
FYI, Gwen's Daddy doesn't eat mushrooms but both Gwen and I absolutely love mushrooms. :)

wow..you really can cook, all look so delicious, and I like your 2nd dish the most ;)
Luckily Eugene also starts taking vege now, me not so worry anymore :)
The dishes you whip up for the family sure look delicious and green. My boy only eats selective kinds of greens like brocolli, yau mak, carrots, onions but he doesn't like mushrooms. :(
I wish big E like Gwen will eat greens. Mushroom....my gals and I also love it. Wahhh..u r one good chef, can come out with so many mushroom dishes..ehhehhe
Most children dislike mushroom let alone vegetables. It's a healthy diet and I really envy you could come up with so many delicious dishes with mushroom. I'm a huge fan of mushroom :D
My girl hates greens but my boy loves them.
yey.... we love mushroom too... my girls will eat anything with mushroom in it... you have so many varieties of mushroom dishes... My mushroom dishes are very simple. I like to buy fresh white button or brown mushroom, and those big korean mushroom called erringi?, and usually i will get the girls to cut out the mushroom. Then I cooked them with olive oil, garlic, and bit of salt. I usually cooked them in a big batch and freeze some of them, and use them to make, mushroom pasta (aglio olio style), fried rice, or just on top of white rice, mushroom omelette.
I love mushrooms too!
High 5 Gwen! I love mushrooms too!! Mushroom is good ya know! ^^
Wow, wow, wow! Mummy Gwen, you are such a good cook. Your dishes are so presentable. It is so good that Gwen loves veggie and mushroom.
Mmm...looks yummy. I love mushrooms too and so does Ashley. I try to add mushrooms in the meat dishes i cook for her :)
wow..so many variety of mushroom dishes! haha.. unfortunate for me in some ways, while I love mushrooms a lot, my kids hate it.

wow....she really likes greens! even capisum she took ! Great! Hahaha... i don't eat capisum because of the smell.
I think not many children like mushroom and my house has one. Same like Gwen and you, Shenny and I do love certain food (eg. raisin, longan, cinnamon flavour) that my hubby never wants to taste.
Thanks for sharing the recipe.
My family love to eat mushroom too...
Mummy..u pandai masak lar..see, semua looks yummy :)
And Gwen is clever girl!!
i love mushroom too but not my dotter :(
You are indeed a very lucky mummy that Gwen loves veggies. Chloe eats most veggies too but not because she likes them. It's because I make her eat them hehe :p
You are such a good cook.. I'm drooling at all your yummy dishes! We love mushrooms too... only the fresh ones and not the black, dried ones (Chinese mushrooms). I think the fresh ones are more nutritious.
Love all your meals. so colourful!~
You really have good culinary skills. All the food spread looks soooo good. I'm a shroom lover too but too bad that none of my kids are like me...Thumbs up to Gwen for not giving mummy any headache when it comes to eating leafy greens!
Mushrooms is one of my favourite food too :-). But my kids have angin towards mushroom... sometimes like sometimes dislike...
Btw, we bought our Boogie Board from the Singapore distributor. I think also sold in Malaysia, but I'm not too sure how much :-)

I'm really so envious of you for you know how to cook! I only knew simple dishes.
Oh, Chloe likes to eat mushrooms while I don't, hehe. That's why she's very happy everytime I gave her my mushroom when we dine somewhere :) I've yet to see if baby Zoe likes mushroom, too :D
Dropping by today mommy and hope you have a great week ahead!
That's a lot of mushroom dishes! They all look good to me!
You cooks lots of shrooms for Gwen. Definitely she says you are a good cook.
