Mui Choy [sweet and salty types] are usually cooked with fatty meat and braised till soft. This vegetarian mui choy of course have no meat added but peanuts. It tastes good too for a vegan. The photo doesn't look good [cos' I didn't intend to post this recipe] but the dish tasted good especially when reheated.
Ingredients
300 gm sweet mui choy - wash, soak and drain
300 gm salty mui choy - wash, soak and drain
4 dried mushrooms - soak and drain - cut strips
100 gm peanuts - wash and boil till almost soft
a few slices ginger
2 tbsp each of oyster sauce and sugar to taste
2 tbsp each of sesame oil and oil
1 litre water
Note: There are 2 types of mui choy. The dish taste better with both types. Add more water if it is too dry.

Hi Kimmy, this is a good idea to use peanuts instead of meat, not so heavy, i love this, will definitely try to make it soon. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Esther, I prefer peanuts to meat too but many people can't accept this dish without meat.
I just made this! Grew up with pork. I think I prefer pork -- the umami savory of meat cannot be reproduced -- but this is still VERY good and I will make it again!!
Hi Fungjj92, Thanks for trying this dish. Honestly, I prepare this only when I'm on strict vegetarian diet otherwise it is usually with meat. Recently, I tried a recipe with meat, sweet mui choy and some chillies. It was good to eat on it's own, to steam fish and even to serve as a topping for stir fry kai lan vegetable.
