Description

Compressed Auricularia (Northeast Black Fungus / Wood Ear) 压缩东北黑木耳 is premium dried wood ear mushroom pressed into a compact block. Rehydrate a small piece and it blossoms into generous handfuls of crunchy, jelly-crisp fungus – the essential texture ingredient in Asian salads, stir-fries and soups.

• Type: dried compressed wood ear fungus (moc nhi / nam meo)
• Origin style: Northeast China black fungus
• Texture: crunchy, jelly-crisp when rehydrated
