How to choose fresh oyster mushrooms
- You should choose mushrooms that are long, thick, and firm; these mushrooms will be sweeter than those with small stems.
- Mushrooms that have been harvested for a long time and stored at cold temperatures often have black tips or bruises.
- You should touch the mushrooms with your hand; if they feel slimy, you shouldn’t buy them.
- You should check the expiration date before purchasing; oyster mushrooms usually have a shelf life of about 2 years, so if the date exceeds 2 years, you shouldn’t buy them.
How to choose fresh cabbage
- Fresh cabbage usually feels firm, is heavy, has a thick, closed head, and a small stem. The leaves of the cabbage are light green, bluish-white, and crispy.
- Do not buy cabbage with yellow leaves, brown spots on the leaves, cracked cores, or brown stems, as these may indicate old or wilted cabbage.

How to properly soak dried wood ear mushrooms
- You should only soak dried wood ear mushrooms for a maximum of 3 – 4 hours before cooking. Avoid soaking dried wood ear mushrooms for too long or overnight, as this can lead to the production of harmful toxins in the mushrooms, which are detrimental to health.
- Soak the mushrooms in cold water, not warm water, because although the mushrooms expand faster in cold water, the morpholine in the mushrooms doesn’t have much time to neutralize.
