Feel free to make any change for the ingredient that you like, it's just a recipe for frying the mushroom. Also remember to wash multiple times to get rid of the bitterness.<br />https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zHIDQK2PFOE&list=PLLhItsuRCBPBfsQ838SeodABrmIqP8l-y&index=19Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934656459172973743.post-25044197670483383162021-06-23T03:36:12.006-07:002021-06-23T03:36:12.006-07:00Hi there, did you manage to find a suitable recipe...Hi there, did you manage to find a suitable recipe to stir fry the rehydrated lion mane well?

I usually blanched them in hot water before cooking them, stir fried with vegetables or in curries (to replace meat). And I must say they are very tasty. However I've been told that the dried ones taste horrible.

The only thing is that they had too much water still in them. Next time I will get more water out of them. I think they were great!

Then you need to squeeze them between some paper towels to get all the liquid out and give them a chance to brown when sauteing. If you don't slice them first, at least slice them after soaking - leaving them whole won't give them a chance to soak up any flavor at all. I sauteed them with fresh garlic, butter, salt and pepper and they were delicious. I also threw a bunch of these after sauteing into a batch of beef with broccoli I had made and they really soaked up all of that flavor too, and almost tasted like the meat.

Then the water squeezed out and changed for a fresh lot of water and the mushrooms soaked again for an hour. Only after that, add seasonings like soya sauce and cook, either in soup or fried.<br />I just got myself some dried monkey head mushrooms and they're soaking right now in a bowl under a dripping tap. I'm going to try out a few ways of cooking them. I've had them in a vegetarian restaurant as a chicken substitute and they had no trace of bitterness. Texture like chicken/pork.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934656459172973743.post-62948314243026570702010-02-04T17:04:27.421-08:002010-02-04T17:04:27.421-08:00I'm with Mom--bearded tooth fungus?
