Stir Fry Cloud Ear Fungus with Egg

This dish is something quite similar to Esther's Wood Ear Fungus Omelette, which I had bookmarked to try.   Since I have lots of cloud ear fungus [bok nee], I used it to replace wood ear fungus.  After a much high cholesterol diet while on holiday, I hope this dish can help to cut down my cholesterol level, hehehe!.  Black fungus helps to lower blood cholesterol.

Verdict - easy, simple yet fragrant and tasty dish for a meal with rice.  The black fungus is not as crunchy as wood ear fungus.
