Recently I tasted bamboo fungus (竹笙) salad in a restaurant, it has a soft crunchiness that
is pleasing and it's loose texture absorbs the marinade very well. So I re-created the dish adding crunchy wood
ear fungus (木耳) and pea sprout for good colour effect.
1. Soak bamboo fungus in water to soften, trim
tail end, then cut into bite size pieces.
2. Soak wood ear fungus in water until fully expanded, cut
into strips.
3. Blanch bamboo fungus in stock for a minute,
cook wood ear fungus in the same stock for a few minutes, and blanch pea sprouts
until just lost the raw green taste.
4. Mix together and season with olive oil, salt,
white pepper and ginger juice.
excellent, but i'll hv to wait for hot summer days to try out ..
