Shared by the original author as a slimming-friendly dish (a 'diet meal'): crisp-tender broccoli paired with springy wood ear mushrooms, coated in a tangy, spicy sauce. Simple to make — everything is just blanched and tossed.

Steps

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Chili-oil infusion ↗

    Make the dressing: in a bowl, combine the minced garlic, bird's eye chilies, sesame seeds, and chili powder. Drizzle a little olive oil over them, then add 2 spoonfuls of light soy sauce, 1 spoonful of black vinegar, 1 spoonful of oyster sauce, and a little salt and chicken bouillon powder. Stir until well mixed.

    ✅ Done when: The dressing is done when the oil, sauces, and seasonings are fully combined into a uniform, slightly speckled sauce.

    Step 2

    Blanching (chao shui) ↗Cold dressing (liang ban) ↗

    Blanch the broccoli and the wood ear mushrooms separately, then drain and transfer both to a bowl. Pour the dressing over the top and toss thoroughly with your hands until evenly coated.

    ✅ Done when: Done when every piece of broccoli and mushroom glistens with dressing and no pooled sauce remains at the bottom of the bowl.
