As I rummaged through what were in our fridge and pantry, I found some dried sliced shiitake mushrooms and thought this little guys combined with onion could give a great umami punch.
當我在雪櫃和儲物櫃時翻找食材時，發現一些乾香菇片，於是想到這些小小的香菇如果配上洋蔥，一定能帶來濃厚的鮮味層次。

Voila! Here’s my version of one pan (ok, I used wok) Chinese savory pancake.
