Woodear Mushroom For Ramen

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS:

15g dried fungus (soaked in a bowl of water until reconstituted) OR 100g fresh black woodear fungus (黑木耳)

(A)  Seasonings

1/2 tbsp light soy sauce

1/2 tbsp mirin

1/2 tbsp sesame oil

Directions

DIRECTIONS:

Prepare the fungus. Remove the ‘knot’ on the underside of each fungus by cutting it out with kitchen scissors. Bring a pot of water to boil. Add the fungus and boil for 3 minutes. Drain the fungus in a colander and rinse them under cold running tap water until cooled down.  Squeeze out the excess liquids from the fungus. Slice the fungus to thin strips (julienne).

Season the sliced fungus with seasonings (A).

Fry the fungus. Spread out the fungus in a heated dry pan. Stir fry until there is no more residue moisture left in the pan.

Store the fungus in a food container in the fridge as part of ramen meal-prep for 3-4 days.
