Dried Wood Ear Mushrooms
Supple snap with a dark, ruffled form.
India Tree Dried Wood Ear Mushrooms are harvested for their dark, ruffled form and signature silky snap. Chosen for their light, subtle character, wood ears serve as an essential textural element that provides a crisp, elastic bite to stir-fries and broths.
Naturally dehydrated to anchor their shape, they are a foundational staple for an edited kitchen. They rehydrate quickly into thin ribbons that bring substance and a sharp finish to wok dishes and savory stocks.
Ingredients
Whole dried wood ear mushrooms (Auricularia auricula-judae).
How to Use
- Quick Rehydration
- Soak in warm water for 15 to 20 minutes until fully expanded. Rinse thoroughly before slicing.
- Classic Broths
- Add to hot and sour or miso bases where their texture can provide a crisp, satisfying contrast.
- Wok Dishes
- Toss rehydrated ribbons into high-heat pans with aromatics and soy to add a snappy, elastic finish to the dish.
- Storage
- Keep in an airtight container in a cool, dark larder to maintain the mushrooms’ ruffled form and firm texture.
