by MaomaoMom
Dried woodears and spirulina may be purchased from Chinese grocery store. I brought a package of spirulina while visiting China. I made this delicious dish with newly released InstantPot Smart electric pressure cooker in a total of 25 minutes. I am really impressed and amazed by this first Bluetooth smart cooker. It not only has multi-functions but also the InstantPot Smart electric pressure cooker can be fully controlled by a smart phone or ipad.
