Braised Fish Maw with Mushrooms

Start by soaking the dried mushrooms and fish maw in warm water, set aside. It will take at least 15 minutes for the mushrooms to soften.

In the meantime, peel garlic and cut ginger into strips. Cut the pork leg meat into slices measuring about 1/2 inch and set aside.

When the mushrooms have softened, heat a medium pot with vegetable oil and throw in the ginger and garlic. Stir around until fragrant, then add dried oysters, mushrooms, pork and fish maw. Stir all the ingredients around in the pot for about 2–3 minutes, before adding the oyster sauce. After cooking everything for another minute, pour the water in, making sure that the water is enough to cover all the ingredients. When the water has come to a boil, lower the heat, cover the pot and simmer for 45 minutes or until meat is tender.
