For my plates, I’ve been wanting to make something that either:

1. Incorporates an ingredient I’ve never cooked before
2. Reminds me of home aka. Taiwanese food

There’s both on this plate, which makes it an A+ in my book: Chinese tea egg (茶葉蛋) and trumpet mushrooms. If you’re wondering how it tasted, it was delicious (obviously since I made it right?) Sautéed mushrooms with tomatoes and onions gave it a good bite; while the tea egg was fragrant and perfect amount of salt. The strawberries ended things off on a naturally sweet note. It’s vegetarian friendly, and a great way to start the day!

As always, the list of farms where ingredients are from:

• Egg – Rolling Oaks Ranch (Ferry Building Farmers Market)
• Oyster Mushrooms – Far West Fungi (Alemany Farmers Market)
• Early Girl Tomatoes – Everything Under the Sun (Ferry Building Farmers Market)
• Green Onion – Chinchiolo Family Farms (Alemany Farmers Market)
• Strawberries – Tomatero Farm (Alemany Farmers Market)
