What are oyster mushrooms and why are they important in Asian cuisine?

Ear-shaped, thin, elastic, and with a slightly gelatinous texture, wood ear mushrooms (often called wood ear mushrooms) are widely used in Chinese, Vietnamese, and Thai cuisines. They are characterized by:

• A neutral flavor base that allows you to easily absorb the aromas of sauces or broth,

• Pleasant crunchy texture after soaking and cooking,

• With an exceptional ability to blend into soups, salads or hot dishes.

TOTACO offers these mushrooms in dried form - this is their classic form, which is easy to store, dose, and use as needed.

How to prepare dried auricularia?

TOTACO dried mushrooms are very easy to use:

• Cover with warm water and soak for about 20-30 minutes until they are completely swollen.

• Drain, rinse, and cut if necessary – some recipes call for narrow strips.

• Use according to your chosen recipe – mushrooms retain their shape and texture perfectly both when frying and boiling.

It is important to remember that dried auricularia swells several times, so it is enough to use a small amount (often 5–10 g is enough for an entire family meal).
