Cut the vegetarian steamed pork sausage
Cut the vegetarian steamed pork sausage into thin slices and then cut each slice into 4 small pieces that are easy to eat.

Prepare dried shiitake mushrooms
Soak the dried shiitake mushrooms in water multiple times until the water is clear.
To eliminate the pungent smell, place the mushrooms in a pot and boil them over high heat. Once the water starts to boil, remove the mushrooms and place them in a bowl of cold water. When the mushrooms have cooled, squeeze out the excess water.
- Method 1 (soaking): Soak the mushrooms in water for about 1 – 2 hours, then rinse with clean water and drain before cooking. To speed up the hydration, you can soak the mushrooms in warm water at 60 – 80 degrees Celsius, and they will be ready in 7 – 10 minutes.
- Method 2 (boiling mushrooms): Rinse the mushrooms briefly in clean water, then boil them in a pot of boiling water for about 3 – 5 minutes.
Note: No matter which method you use, you should gently rub the mushrooms with your hands to remove all dirt, then squeeze out the water and let them drain before cooking.

Braise the dish
When the vegetarian pork sausage is firm, add 16 tablespoons of vegetarian fish sauce and the chopped pineapple. Season with 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate to taste.
To add color to the dish without using food coloring, add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce.
Add 1 cup of water and braise over medium heat for about 5 minutes to cook the pineapple and absorb the flavors.
After about 5 minutes, add the fresh soy skin and braise for another 5 minutes.

- Since soy skin absorbs flavors very quickly, you should add it last to avoid over-salting.
- Depending on your family’s taste, you can adjust the seasoning to your preference.
When the liquid has reduced, turn off the heat and sprinkle the chopped cilantro, green onion, and chili on top.
