Description
Dried White Fungus (Syut Yi) - 100 g
Dried white fungus, scientifically named Tremella fuciformis, is an edible mushroom species that naturally grows on deciduous trees in Asia and is well-known under names such as snow fungus and white wood ear. The fungus is sold in dried form and must be soaked in cold water before preparation – soaking should continue until the center is soft, which typically takes about 60 minutes. After soaking, rinse the fungus thoroughly in clean water and carefully clean it before boiling it in fresh water for at least 10 minutes. Then the water can be drained, and the fungus can be further prepared with spices such as garlic or soy sauce in a wok or pot. The fungus has a characteristic crisp and slightly jelly-like texture and a very mild, almost neutral taste, making it suitable for absorbing flavors from the other ingredients in the dish. It is traditionally used in Chinese soups and broths but also works well in stir-fries and other Asian recipes. The package contains 100g of dried white fungus with the preservative E220 (sulphites). Please note that due to the harvesting and packaging process, pieces of bark may be present in the packaging. The product must not be consumed untreated, and raw fungus should not come into contact with other foods for food safety reasons.
