Black Fungus & Potato Chicken

Black Fungus or Cloud ear fungus is very commanly used in chinese cooking. Chinese believed that this fungus will benefit our health by adding in our diet. Some say it will reduce LDL cholesterol and some even said it could eliminate bad clogged blood in the uterus. That's why this is the key ingredient of confinement food. I personally like the texture of it, jellyfish yet chruncy. 

Surprisingly my children love it too. Normally cooked with chicken, and I added potato as well. These 3 ingredients go pretty well too.
