Easy Chinese three-cup mushrooms - recipe

Delicious and (usually) inexpensive, mushrooms are great at absorbing the flavours of whatever ingredients they are cooked with. They can range from meaty to slippery and chewy, and to tender and delicate, and if you use a mixture, you can have all the textures in one dish.

Three-cup chicken is a rich and aromatic Taiwanese dish made with soy sauce, rice wine and sesame oil. Three-cup mushrooms has similar flavours but is easier to prepare. In the chicken version, the meat is fried (or stir-fried) before it is cooked with the other ingredients, but for the mushroom dish, you just put the ingredients in a clay pot and simmer everything together. Use several types of fresh mushrooms; I like king oyster, straw and enoki.
