Let me savor the flavor of eight treasures from my poverty, and I eagerly seek dried bamboo mushrooms. Wood ear mushrooms have been beloved by people since ancient times. They are used for both medicine and food, not only frequently used in medicine, but also an indispensable delicacy on every household table. Wood ear mushrooms are not only delicious to eat, but also have a long shelf life, and dried wood ear mushrooms will not spoil even after two years. During special times when you don't want to go out to buy vegetables, we can grab a handful of wood ear mushrooms from home and stir-fry them to eat, which is convenient and delicious, whether it's with meat or vegetables.

Although wood ear mushrooms are delicious, they can be a bit frightening when stir-fried. Most people's wood ear mushrooms 'pop' in the pot, and sometimes accidentally splash hot oil, causing a mess and making it difficult to handle.Wood ear mushrooms have a soft texture with a layer of gel-like substance on their surface. When they come into contact with hot oil, they undergo thermal expansion and contraction. When the temperature reaches a certain level, the wood ear mushrooms will expand, emitting a sound.Consequently, we usually buy dried wood ear mushrooms, which require soaking before eating. When wood ear mushrooms are soaked in hot oil, they can splash.

Let's share three tips often used by restaurant chefs when stir-frying wood ear mushrooms, easily solving this little trouble.

1. After soaking the wood ear mushrooms, cut them into pieces, don't stir-fry them whole, so as not to damage the complete gel substance and cause popping.

2. When stir-frying wood ear mushrooms, add some water, which will not cause popping.

3. Stir-fry wood ear mushrooms together with fresh vegetables, the moisture of the vegetables will also not cause popping.
