I actually dun quite like black fungus as it's kinda tasteless but it seems to have some potential benefit to improve health. If you want to know, please google the benefit of black fungus. The Black Fungus Chicken is a little too salty where else other dishes are good. My Black Fungus Corn soup is a failure as it tastes not too good. This is mainly because of the overnight cooking in slow cooker that overkills the soup. Soups such as corn, tomato, white or red carrot just to name a few is not suitable to be cooked overnight in slow cooker. Somehow it either didn't bring out the taste or totally overkill it. Only vegetable that is hard such as lotus root or herbal soup benefits for overnight cooking using slow cooker. A lesson learned.

PS: Most of my cooking blog that I posted here are yesterday night cooking. Tonight cooking will be publish by tomorrow night.
