Let’s get cooking
- 01
Trim and separate
Cut off the firm root base. Separate into small bundles, rinse and drain. Wash hands and clean surfaces after handling uncooked mushrooms.
- 02
Warm garlic
Heat oil over medium-low heat. Stir garlic for 30 seconds; mix with soy sauce and water off the heat.
- 03
Arrange and steam
Spread small bundles on a shallow heatproof plate. Pour over sauce and steam over boiling water for 12–15 minutes.
- 04
Check thorough cooking
Ensure every bundle is steaming hot and fully cooked, extending time for a thick layer. Add scallion and serve with the juices.
A little kitchen wisdom
Loosen the bundles so steam can reach their centres. Follow any stricter package cooking instructions.
