Black Cloud Woodear Mushroom with Fried Fish Cakes

Posted 2014-05-28 by GiGi GMV follow


Doesn't the name Cloud Ear Mushroom/Fungus sounds exotic?

It is highly nutritious and contains rich dietary fibers. It reduces cholesterol and it is a healthy-alternative diet food.

Cloud ear mushroom has no real flavour on its own but soaks in the flavors that it is cooked with.



It is mostly sold in dried-form in Australia. Look for it in the dry good section in any leading Asian supermarkets.

Preparation Time: 30 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Makes: 4 servings



Ingredients
300g dry cloud ear mushroom/fungus
200g Korean fried fish cakes
100g fresh ginger
3 cloves galic
2 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoon black rice vinegar
1 teaspoon cooking wine
1 teaspoon sugar
2 small red chili
Salt and pepper to season

Method
  • Before cooking, rehydrate the cloud ears in warm water for 15-30 minutes. They will puff up to several times their normal size. Rinse several times. The cloud ears should feel soft and slippery.
  • Pat dry with paper towel.
  • Heat oil in a hot pan, add in garlic, ginger and red chili. Stir fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.



  • Add the cloud ear mushroom to the hot pan.



  • Add soy sauce, sugar and a dash of cooking wine.
  • Let the cloud ear mushroom absorb the sauce.



  • In the final minute, add a dash of black rice vinegar before removing from heat.
  • Warm up the Korean fried fish cakes on grills or in the oven.
  • Slice the fish cakes diagonally.



  • Plate cloud ears and fried fish cakes on 4 serving plates.
  • Vegetarian alternative: omit the fish cakes.
  • Garnish with fresh red chili on top.
  • Serve warm.



  • Note: the black rice vinegar is highly critical in this dish and it will intensify the flavour of this vegetarian dish.

    The texture of cloud ears is soft and smooth.
    A highly delicious vegetarian dish.
