This recipe is inspired by the crunchy texture of H. coralloides that's similar to the Chinese Tree ear mushroom, plus it's seafood like flavor that compliments Asian soups. The other two mushrooms also have different textures along with seafood notes. The unusual ingredients are available in Asian markets, or locally at Central Market.

An adaptation of an old Usenet recipe.

Crunchy savory goodness.

A wild variation on a classic.
