Ingredients
Instructions
Preparing the oyster mushrooms and walnut kernels
Take 250g of oyster mushrooms, wash them, blanch briefly in boiling water, squeeze out the water, and tear into strips. Soak the walnut kernels in hot water to remove the outer skin, then blanch briefly in boiling water and set aside.
Preparing the dog meat
Soak the dog meat in warm water, wash it well, then blanch in a pot of boiling water until half-cooked. Remove and slice.
Preparing the remaining oyster mushrooms
Wash the remaining 250g of fresh oyster mushrooms, tear them into pieces, and squeeze out any excess water.
Braising and stir-frying the dog meat with oyster mushrooms
Heat a wok and add the vegetable oil. When the oil is about 90% hot, add the dog meat slices and stir-fry until fragrant. Then add the 250g of oyster mushroom pieces and stir-fry until the mushrooms soften. Pour in 200ml of fresh broth, add the dried tangerine peel and cooking wine, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low and simmer. Once braised through, add the dark soy sauce, MSG, scallions, ginger, garlic cloves, and chili paste. Stir-fry evenly to coat with flavor, then transfer to one side of a serving plate.
Stir-frying the walnut kernels with oyster mushrooms
Wipe the wok clean, heat it, and melt the chicken fat. Once the oil is hot, add the ginger and scallion juliennes and stir-fry briefly, then remove and discard the scallions and ginger. Add a small amount of fresh broth to the wok and bring to a boil, then add the 250g of fresh oyster mushroom pieces and walnut kernels. Add the refined salt and cooking wine, stir-fry for a moment, toss the wok to thicken with the water starch, then transfer to the other side of the plate and sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds evenly over the top.
Plating
Place the cucumber pickles in the middle of the plate to separate the two portions.
