Reserve the mushroom water. Take the now-rehydrated mushrooms out, give them a little rinse and cut the stem off. Marinate the mushrooms with a little splash of oil, a tablespoon of soy sauce, a tablespoon of oyster sauce, sugar, and cornstarch. Give each mushroom a quick little “massage” to get the marinade in. Set aside for 15 minutes. Soak the Fat Choy [black moss] for 15 minutes. Separately, soak the dried oysters for 15 minutes as well if using. Make sure you rinse through the oysters properly to loosen any dirt or particles. Discard the water. Heat the pot with 1-2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Fry the ginger until fragrant. Briefly smash the white parts of the scallions and then add it into the pot. Cook for 1-2 minutes until slightly caramelized. Add in the mushrooms and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes. Stir in soy sauce and oyster sauce, a tablespoon each. Pour in half of the reserved mushroom water and then add in more water until it’s covering the food. Put the lid on, reduce to medium heat and let simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in dried oysters / dried scallops (if using) and stir-fry for another minute. Next, add in the fat choy [black moss] and gently mix everything together. Add more water and simmer for 20 minutes, covered.  Uncover, turn the heat back up to high. The liquid should have been reduced by now. Stir in the sliced green parts of the scallions. Mix and turn the heat off. Serve immediately.
