This Fish Costs Only 5 Yuan per Pound, More Fragrant Than Meat When Stewed with Beans, Making a Family of Three Drool with Desire
This fish is only 5 yuan per kilogram, and it's even more fragrant than meat when stewed with beans after being preserved. It makes a family of three drool with desire.
A few days ago, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were craving for chives and pork filling dumplings, so they asked their husband to buy the meat and chives. However, he rejected it because the pork cost 30 yuan per kilogram, so he bought 6 kilograms of small shiitake mushrooms instead. These small mushrooms, also known as 'mao shan' in some parts of Eastern China, usually cost 7 yuan per kilogram, but during this special time, they were sold at such a low price. It's amazing how the husband bought so much of them!
Buying this small shiitake mushroom is not only cost-effective but also a delicious dish. It's a must-have for a good meal! The fish scales don't need to be peeled; just pinch and squeeze, sprinkle with salt, pepper, ginger, and scallions, and marinate for two days. After drying, the dried salted shiitake mushrooms can be either deep-fried or stewed with beans. My family always has this ingredient, and we always make extra rice or steamed buns – it's never enough!
A few days ago, the sun was shining, and we dried the shiitake mushrooms for 3 days. Now that we can't go out, especially with this snow in our small county today, dried salted shiitake mushrooms are a great help. We had a big plate of stewed mung beans for lunch, and the family enjoyed it. Next, I'll share the method of stewing mung beans with dried shiitake mushrooms. Now that shiitake mushrooms are cheap, everyone can buy some and make this dish together.

6. Steam the mung beans until they are completely cooked and flavorful. Just before serving, sprinkle a little scallion flower and turn off the heat.
