Chinese Ingredient: Dry MushroomDry mushroom is a very common ingredient in Chinese cooking. It adds a distinct, smoky flavour and aroma to Chinese dishes.• The dry mushroom itself is plain, but can obsorb the taste from the sauces. So it is often used for slow cooking such as stew or soup. • Before cooking, use warm water to soak for half hour or until softened. I usually do this over night. Afterwards, squeeze out the excess water. • Used for soup, cut it or use it as a whole. Used as seasoning, finely chopped and combined with meat or fish. If interested, you may also check this Chinese Eggplant with Dry Mushroom recipe. I hope you like this issue.
