How to Make Stir-Fried Wood Ear Mushrooms with Eggs

Stir-fried wood ear mushrooms with eggs is a quick, nutritious, and delicious Chinese dish loved for its crispy texture and savory flavor. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to make it at home.

Ingredients:

- 50g dried wood ear mushrooms (soaked in warm water until soft, then sliced)

- 3 eggs (beaten)

- 2 cloves garlic (minced)

- 1 green onion (chopped)

- 1 tbsp cooking oil

- Salt, 1 tsp light soy sauce, ½ tsp sesame oil (to taste)

Steps:

1. Prepare the mushrooms: Soak dried wood ears in warm water for 20 minutes until plump. Rinse, trim stems, and slice into thin strips. Drain excess water.

2. Cook the eggs: Heat 0.5 tbsp oil in a wok over medium heat. Pour in beaten eggs, scramble until lightly set, then remove and set aside.

3. Stir-fry mushrooms: Add remaining oil to the wok. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant, then add wood ear mushrooms. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until tender.

4. Combine and season: Return scrambled eggs to the wok. Add soy sauce, salt, and sesame oil. Toss everything evenly. Sprinkle chopped green onions and cook for another 30 seconds.

Tips: For extra crunch, blanch wood ears in boiling water for 1 minute before stir-frying. Serve hot with steamed rice for a satisfying meal! This versatile dish takes just 15 minutes to prepare, making it perfect for busy weeknights.
