I don't know if you like these two vegetables, shiitake mushrooms and rapeseed. We often see them, but eating them regularly can improve our health. This is because the elements in shiitake mushrooms and rapeseed are beneficial to our health.

Let's introduce shiitake mushrooms and rapeseed separately.


Shiitake mushrooms are rich in β-glucan (an immunomodulatory polysaccharide), which activates macrophages and enhances antiviral capabilities. They also contain ergosterol (converted to vitamin D upon sunlight exposure), which promotes calcium absorption. They also contain soluble fiber (β-glucan), which helps regulate the balance of intestinal flora. The selenium in shiitake mushrooms (a key component of antioxidant enzymes) can reduce free radical damage. They also contain plant sterols, which inhibit cholesterol absorption.


Next, rapeseed contains vitamin C (an antioxidant that promotes white blood cell function), which can enhance immunity. Rapeseed also contains ergosterol (converted to vitamin D upon sunlight exposure), which promotes calcium absorption. Regarding the benefits of constipation, rapeseed is rich in insoluble fiber, which promotes intestinal motility and relieves constipation. Rapeseed is also a good food for those who are afraid of aging. This is because rapeseed contains selenium (an important component of antioxidant enzymes), which reduces free radical damage. Finally, the dietary fiber in rapeseed absorbs bile acid and promotes cholesterol excretion. The above only introduces some of the functions of shiitake mushrooms and rapeseed. The content of other ingredients is low and the effect is not significant. Just looking at the above is enough to make us fall in love with these two vegetables. Therefore, today I brought you a dish stir-fried with shiitake mushrooms and rapeseed.

Ingredients (for 2 people):

(1) Fresh shiitake mushrooms: 6 pieces (about 150g), cut off the roots, and cut the rest into slices (about 3mm thick).

(2) Small rapeseed: 300g, cut the whole head in half (select the tender rapeseed heart).

(3) Minced garlic: 3 cloves.

(4) Oyster sauce: 1 spoon (5g).

(5) Light soy sauce: 1 spoon (5ml).

(6) Sugar: 2g.

(7) Starch: 3g + 30ml water.

(8) Cooking oil: 5ml.


Detailed steps:

(1) Pre-processing ingredients

Shiitake mushrooms: Soak in warm water for 10 minutes (to remove the earthy smell), slice and blanch for 30 seconds (to remove the astringency and make it more tender and smooth).

Rapeseed: Cut the root into a cross shape (for easier cooking), wash and drain.

(2) Stir-fry to lock in freshness (high heat throughout!)

Sauté minced garlic: Heat cold oil (5ml) in a pan, add minced garlic and stir-fry over low heat until slightly browned.

Stir-fry shiitake mushrooms: Turn to high heat, add shiitake mushroom slices and stir-fry for 1 minute until the edges are slightly charred.

Add rapeseed: Add rapeseed and stir-fry quickly for 1 minute until the leaves are softened.

Seasoning and Thickening:Add oyster sauce, light soy sauce, and sugar. Drizzle in cornstarch (mix cornstarch and water thoroughly). Stir-fry until evenly combined and serve.


That's all for the recipe. Improving your health through food requires ongoing effort. Eating once or twice won't solve the problem. If you have a serious health problem, seek medical attention immediately, as food is not medicine. Go ahead and try it!
