Linguine With Mini King Oyster Mushroom And Salmon

This is my kind of preparation for pasta.  I prefer linguine to chinese noodles.  I like the soft chewy texture of linguine .  I have some balance of mini king oyster mushrooms , so I stir fry them with garlic and mixed herbs and then add to the cooked linguine with a dash of  salt. Pan seared salmon with black pepper .  Serve linguine with the pan seared salmon and mini King oyster mushrooms.....this is so yummy.  Garnish with spring onions for color and taste .  I am begining to like this mushroom.  It has a springy and chewy texture even after cooking it, unlike the other type of mushrooms which turned soft after cooking.

Mini King Oyster Mushroom Omelette

A simple dinner last night because WB was well the past few days.  Fever and cough but thank God , he is much better today :)  I cooked this simple mini king oyster mushroom omelette for our dinner -bought them from Jusco and these mini King Oyster mushroom are from Korea , it is crunchy in texture and taste good .  One functional arm and one handle non stick pan did the trick LOL!  

Thank God I am now 90% recovered and soon I will be able to go back to my mundane routine of baking and cooking again.  The physiotherapy is killing me though.  Imagine your arm being pushed to the limit each time you go for the exercise...gosh it is nightmare for me but it does do me good though. As the saying goes ...no pain no gain.  I am still not able to sleep through the night coz of the pain from the inside.  Well , as the doctor said...the pain will be there for 3-6 months.  Wow, I didn't know this is the side effect from the surgery and I hope that I will be able to endure the sleepless night and pain.  But food can smooth the pain for the time being :)
