How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose good dried shiitake mushrooms
- Good dried shiitake mushrooms are usually those with a medium size, not too large or too small, and you can see that the caps are brownish-yellow and especially tightly curled into the mushroom stems.
- Additionally, the surface of the mushrooms should not be scratched, torn, or show signs of mold.
- Avoid buying mushrooms if they have an unusual odor, as this is a sign that the shiitake mushrooms have gone bad and should not be used.
How to choose delicious wood ear mushrooms
- Currently, there are 2 common types of wood ear mushrooms available for sale: fresh and dried. However, the dried type is used more often because it is easier to process and much safer for health.
- You should buy wood ear mushrooms that are dark amber in color, slightly shiny, and have large caps with few small mushrooms at the base.
- Avoid buying wood ear mushrooms that are too dark in color, as they usually become very soft after processing, and their crispness is also reduced.
