How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Straw Mushrooms
- Good straw mushrooms are still in bud form, round or cylindrical, and feel slightly firm when gently squeezed.
- Choose mushrooms that are uniform in size for a more aesthetically pleasing and tastier dish.
- Black or gray straw mushrooms will taste better than the white variety.
- Select mushrooms with bright colors and a distinctive mushroom scent.
- Avoid mushrooms that have a foul smell, dull color, feel soft and mushy to the touch, or are overly large, as these indicate they have been stored too long and will not taste good.
How to Properly Prepare Straw Mushrooms
- For fresh straw mushrooms, trim the stems to clean them. Rinse the mushrooms briefly in a mixture of water and rice flour, then prepare another bowl of water mixed with rice flour, soak the mushrooms completely for about 5 minutes, and then rinse with clean water.
- Additionally, to keep the mushrooms white and eliminate odors, soak the straw mushrooms in water mixed with lemon juice for about 10 minutes, then rinse clean.
- To prevent the mushrooms from losing moisture and to maintain their crispness, do not wash or soak straw mushrooms in saltwater.
Above, TasteVN guides you to make 3 delicious stir-fried dishes from straw mushrooms: stir-fried straw mushrooms with curry, stir-fried with satay, and stir-fried with garlic butter. Hope you have a delicious vegetarian meal with your loved ones!
