Hello everybody. Just registered today. I don't speak the dialect, but not too late to learn . I speak Tagalog, though. I enjoyed reading the threads, even though, I don't understand 50 percent of what was said ... needless to say the recipes are great and this site seems the friendliest site I've seen. So I've decided to be a member. Here's a recipe that I learned from my Chinese sister in-law. I don't know what she calls it.
GINISANG TENGA NG DAGA (black mushroom)
2.5 oz Tenga ng Daga mushroom -- chopped
1 can Water Chestnut -- chopped
1 head Garlic -- chopped
red hot chili pepper or chili garlic sauce
1lb ground pork or chicken
soy sauce
salt (optional)
1. Saute garlic until it's wilted. Add pork, cook until it's done.
2. Add black mushrooms and water chestnuts.
3. Season with soy sauce and chili peppers. You can make it as spicy hot as you want.
4. Serve over steamed rice.
Hope you like it.

OMG!!!
I forgot ... you're supposed to soak the mushrooms first until they double their size and then chop the mushrooms in the food processor.
thanks. I hope you'll enjoy the recipe.
