How to Cook Hawaiian Ear Mushrooms
Hawaiian ear mushrooms are commonly available in dry form. You should soften them by rehydrating them before using in recipes. Resembling the shape of an ear, Hawaiian ear mushrooms have an earthy aroma and deep brown color. Also known as tree ear, black fungus and Judas' ear, Hawaiian ear mushrooms have a bland flavour but are favored for their crispy texture. You should add Hawaiian ear mushrooms to foods towards the end of your cooking process.
