About Pepeao, dried
The wood ear mushroom (Auricularia auricula-judae), also called cloud ear, black fungus, or historically Jew's ear, is an edible fungus that grows in ear-shaped, gelatinous brackets on trees. Dark brown to nearly black, it is a staple of Chinese and other Asian cuisines and is usually sold dried, swelling back to its rubbery form when soaked in water. Wood ear has very little flavor of its own but is prized for its distinctive crunchy, springy texture and its ability to soak up the flavors around it.
It is low in calories and fat while providing fiber, iron, and other minerals, and it has a long history in traditional medicine. It is a classic ingredient in hot and sour soup, stir-fries, braises, and cold salads, adding a signature crisp bite. It is always eaten cooked, and only a small amount of the dried fungus is needed since it expands greatly. Choose whole, unbroken dried pieces, and store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, where they keep for a very long time.
