Read more about cooking wood mushrooms
There are an incredible variety of ways to prepare mushrooms, and muer, for example, can even be eaten raw. But since they are supplied from China, and it is not known how they are pressed, it is best to cook them after soaking (at least for 2-4 minutes), then rinse them well.
The dense pulp of mushrooms contains the largest amount of chitin, which is why this part of the product requires careful heat treatment, which usually lasts from 20 to 45 minutes.
Pre-cooked fruiting bodies are added to hot dishes only at the very end of cooking, so as not to lose the valuable consistency of the product.

Mix the meat thoroughly and leave to marinate for an hour and a half. Beef marinates for a very long time, the structure of its meat is dense and, in a good way, it takes about eight hours. But since we cut it into small pieces, in an hour and a half it will soften perfectly and soak in the sauce and garlic.
Following the instructions, boil the funchose. It should become transparent. Place it in a colander, rinse under cold running water and return to the pan. Pour soy sauce, sesame oil and sugar over the funchose and stir.
This is followed by blanching the spinach for 1 minute in boiling, slightly salted water. After a minute, remove the spinach leaves, rinse with cold water and squeeze.
Dry mushrooms, pre-soaked, dry slightly on paper towels, cut into small strips.
Grate the carrots using a Korean carrot grater, and grate the onion into thin, almost transparent half rings. Fry them separately in vegetable oil. Then - mushrooms and separately marinated beef.
Combine all ingredients in one deep salad bowl, mix, add a little more sesame oil, soy sauce or sugar to taste. Divide the dish into portions and serve. It’s so tasty, aromatic, you just can’t resist!

Shiitake
Shiitake mushrooms have been an ingredient in national cuisine for hundreds of years. It is this Chinese mushroom that visually resembles our Russian mushrooms. It also has a stem and a cap, although it grows exclusively on trees.
Shiitake, when freshly picked, has a nice dark brown hue. During the drying process, it changes to a darker color, becoming almost black. You can find both fresh and dry shiitake on supermarket shelves. If we talk about benefits, they are completely universal and can be used in all dishes.
The only thing that needs to be done first is to fill the dry shiitake with clean water. This procedure will help restore lost moisture to them. And only then the mushrooms can be used in cooking.
Dried mushrooms can be used as an aromatic seasoning that enhances the taste of other foods.
Black tree muer or “tree ear” mushrooms are parasitic, choosing tree trunks as a place of residence. But they bring only benefits to humans.
This Chinese tree mushroom contains a huge amount of protein and vitamins. In addition, muer is an excellent source of iron. Mushrooms help increase appetite and also improve overall health.
But muer is not always a black mushroom. You can see porcini (delicacy) and yellow mushrooms. In supermarkets you can find white dried muer, which is very nutritious and tasty. It contains amino acids and polysaccharides necessary for our body. In addition, wood fungus contains phosphorus and iron.
Xianggu
Another edible tree mushroom that is popular in China is xianggu. As a rule, they arrive on store shelves in dry form, so they must first be soaked. After this, they enlarge and take their original umbrella shape. Mushrooms have a very hard stem, so it is not used for food. Xiangu have a rich aroma.
They are also called winter mushrooms. In China, the cultivation of xianggu is given a special place, and the country itself ranks second in their production in the world. Mushrooms are rich in amino acids and enzymes and also contain significant amounts of vitamin D.
Useful tips
- You need to soak the mushrooms for at least 25-30 minutes. But even if you leave them in water overnight, they will not get any worse. They will expand completely and acquire an even more delicate crispy taste. To give them a more Asian flavor, they are poured with boiling water and then a little vinegar and salt are added.
- Depending on your wishes, these salads can be either hot or cold. Moreover, even if they stand in the refrigerator for a day, they will only become better, completely soaked and infused. In this way they resemble borscht, which becomes tastier over time.
- It should be borne in mind that mushrooms increase in size by 5-8 times when soaked.
- After soaking, you need to cut off the so-called root part (the base with which they are attached to the tree). It is tough and unsuitable for food.
- In Korea and China, tree mushrooms are simply fried in a frying pan with various spices (cilantro, red pepper, etc.). They can be used as noodles by cutting them into strips.
- These mushrooms go well with potatoes, rice, funchose, meat, and vegetables.
- Many oriental salads include garlic. If someone does not like spiciness, but still wants to retain its aroma, garlic should be fried in a frying pan and mixed with soy sauce.
- This product makes very tasty sauces that have a slightly sweet taste; they are perfect for meat dishes.
- The product can be stored fresh in the refrigerator for no more than 72 hours. But in dried form - ad infinitum. Soaked mushrooms should not be kept for more than 2 days.
