About dried mushrooms
Mushrooms dried whole, which concentrates the flavour and is why dried are used in soup where fresh are not. This pack is 200 g net, wild rather than farmed. At the quantities below that is about 13 servings. That works out at S$11.90 per 100 g.
Also known as dried shiitake, flower mushroom, dong gu, cordyceps flower, chong cao hua, tea tree mushroom.
What people use it for
Soaked and used in braises, stir-fries and soup. Cordyceps flower in particular goes into chicken soup and gives it a gold colour.
How to prepare it
Soak in warm water 30 minutes until soft, squeeze out, and strain the soaking water into the pot - it is the best part.
Keeping it
Airtight and dry, or the freezer for long keeping.
