What Am I Making?

[The Late Night Gourmet]

I've seen people start threads before where they give clues, and people try to figure it out. I wasn't sure where this was headed, either, when I started. So, let's see how many clues it takes for you to figure it out. I will post a picture without explanation, and then field guesses. If someone guesses the ingredients being prepared, I will answer truthfully.

If you're right about the final dish, I will message you. I will post clues slowly or quickly dependent on how many responses I get (i.e., if it's really active, I will post more frequently). The winner gets...oh, I don't know, the honor of starting their own silly thread like this one.

So, without further ado:

 

[Morning Glory]

Well... mushrooms.

 

[The Late Night Gourmet]

Well... mushrooms.

WINNER!!

Okay...not quite. Is there anything else you want to ask about what's in the pot before I move on to the second clue?

 

[Morning Glory]

...might be some chopped onion in there?

 

[The Late Night Gourmet]

...might be some chopped onion in there?

No, not onion, but there are bits of something in there.

 

[medtran49]

Something else in the onion family like green onions, leeks?

 

[Francesca]

Minced garlic I believe ..

 

[The Late Night Gourmet]

Minced garlic I believe ..

ding, ding, ding...yes! That's not all that's in there, but let's proceed to the next clue.

 

[Morning Glory]

Hmm...what are those pale slices? Some kind of root veg?

 

[Morning Glory]

Or bamboo shoots?

 

[The Late Night Gourmet]

Or bamboo shoots?

Yes, bamboo shoots.

Since there are still no guesses about the final dish, I will add another clue (though, admittedly, it won't help much):

 

[GadgetGuy]

Are you making something that's Chinese?

 

[Morning Glory]

Chillies - it certainly looks stir-fry (-ish).

 

[Morning Glory]

Can I ask - is this a well known dish with a specific title?

 

[The Late Night Gourmet]

Are you making something that's Chinese?

Yes, though not exclusive to China (at least 1 other Asian country has their interpretation of the dish).

Chillies - it certainly looks stir-fry (-ish).

Chilies, yes, but not a stir-fry (though I admit I did originally start out thinking that way before taking a detour).

Can I ask - is this a well known dish with a specific title?

Yes...it's a well-known dish with a specific title (same title in both China and the other country).
