Some time ago, I have introduced to you this traditional Chinese female aphrodisiac called the long net stinkhorn 竹笙. It is a beautiful mushroom that wears a bridal gown, and is found in all sub-tropical regions around the world. The stinkhorn, among having various properties like being anti-bacterial, lowering cholesterol levels and having an incredibly high protein content, is the secret to multiple orgasms among women.

This particular dish, Stuffed stinkhorns with prawns and greens 鮮蝦釀竹笙, is a Cantonese restaurant favourite from the southeastern part of China. The fresh and succulent sweetness of the prawns really compliments the slightly earthy flavour of the stinkhorn.

You can now easily order stinkhorn from the Chinese website Taobao.com.
