I had almost two days of mushroom feast. It started on Saturday with the steamboat dinner we hosted at my place for my mum's family. There were about five dishes of mushrooms - from shiitake to abalone to button to white. Even the soup was made of mushrooms! What a pity there is no black truffle!
We waited for the soup to boil, then threw all the mushrooms into the soup. Needless to say, the soup tasted very mushroomy after that. I am not referring to the thick cream mushroom soup, but actual clear soup made of mushrooms, and boiling mushrooms!
In went all the shiitake, then all the abalone, then all the white mushrooms, followed by the other mushrooms. The mushrooms were cooked very quickly. In fact, the moment we put the mushrooms in, they were cooked within minutes. So we scooped them up and in went the next batch.
At the end of the dinner, we ate mushrooms, mushrooms and more mushrooms, with a bit of vegetables and salmon. We were all so full from mushrooms that my cousins remarked they could not bear to see another mushroom for a while!
There were still some mushrooms leftover, so we had another mushroom feast on Sunday, where we ate noodles with different types of mushrooms, and mushrooms with vegetables. I swear I am never going to touch another mushroom again for the next couple of months or so!
