Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Soak and prepare fungus

    Place the dried cloud ear fungus in a bowl and cover with warm water. Let soak for 20–30 minutes until fully expanded and soft. Rinse well, trim any tough parts, and cut into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Blanch fungus

    Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the soaked fungus and blanch for 1–2 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool. Set aside in a bowl.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Mix dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, black vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, and salt until the sugar dissolves.

  2. 4

    Combine ingredients

    Add the blanched cloud ear fungus, chopped coriander, pickled chili slices, minced garlic, and spring onions to a mixing bowl. Pour the dressing over and toss everything together to coat well.

Serving

  1. 5

    Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld. Serve cold as a refreshing appetizer or side dish.
