Mum's home cooked braised dried oyster

Mum used to only make this dish during Lunar New Year but because we are all living away from home, she makes this more often, as and when we request for it when go home.

Recipe makes about 23 little parcels.
Note: Mum used eating tablespoon, not the proper measuring tablespoon.

Not advertising or anything - just want to show how the bean curd skin looks like

Ingredients:

23 dried oysters - soak in hot water to soften it.
500g minced pork
100g dried mushroom (approximately 10 large size ones) - soak in water till soften, roughly chopped
2 tbsp soy sauce - reduced to taste depending on how salty the bean curd skin you buy
1/2 tbsp fish sauce
Dash of pepper
Bean curd skin

Method:

1. Wash dried oysters once with water and salt then rinse. Pour water into the bowl containing dried oysters and let the dried oysters soak in this second batch of water (no salt)
2. Add chopped dried mushroom to minced pork and add in soy sauce, fish sauce and pepper. 
3. Wipe bean curd skin with damp cloth or kitchen towel so it is not so salty and easier to wrap.
4. Divide minced pork into 23 portions so that the size is more of less the same and you have enough pork for all dried oyster prepared.
5. Cut bean curd skin into 15x15 cm per piece. 
6. Take one portion of minced pork and put on the cut bean curd skin. Place one dried oyster in the middle. 
7. Wrap like how you would wrap spring roll. 
8. Repeat till all dried oyster and minced pork is used up. 
9. Pan fry all little parcels till bean curd skin is cooked so that it would not burst when braised. 
10. Placed the already pan fried parcels into a pot and pour in the water used to soak dried oyster earlier. Top up the water till it just about to cover the parcels. 
11. Braised for about 1-1.5 hours till the dried oysters are soft. 

Then.. tuck in and enjoy! Here's another photo just to show you how it looks like if you cut it open. It freezes well and you can just steam it in rice cooker when you cook rice straight from the freezer.

Sorry - all the photos are taken with iPhone 4 except the one below.
