How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to choose delicious and chewy enoki mushrooms
- You should choose fresh mushrooms with firm caps and shiny white color. Additionally, good enoki mushrooms should be fresh, not bruised, not brownish, and not slimy.
- If you buy mushrooms from stores or supermarkets, be sure to check the packaging for the production date, expiration date, and origin.
How to choose good wood ear mushrooms
- There are 2 types of wood ear mushrooms: fresh wood ear mushrooms and dried wood ear mushrooms; you should choose to buy dried wood ear mushrooms for safety and to minimize allergic reactions.
- Dried wood ear mushrooms will have an amber color on the outside and a milky brown color on the underside. When purchasing, prioritize selecting those with large, thick ears and few small mushrooms growing at the base.
- Avoid choosing wood ear mushrooms that have unusually dark colors, as these mushrooms will become mushy and lose their crispiness after soaking.
