Description
White fungus is low in calories and high in fiber. It’s also packed with multiple vitamins and minerals that are essential for optimal health.
Dried white fungus should be prepped before cooking by following these simple steps:
- Soaking. Cover the dried mushroom with water, and let it sit for 1 to 3 hours or until all of it becomes gelatinously soft.
- Trimming. Trim off the bottom part, as it remains hard after soaking.
- Washing. Tear the fungus into small, petal-like pieces. Wash thoroughly and drain or pat dry.
White fungus has a sweet taste and bland texture and is traditionally cooked in soups, both sweet and savory. Still, you may enjoy it as an ingredient in other everyday dishes.
