Stir-Fried Pine Mushrooms with Mouth Mushrooms

Name: Stir-Fried Pine Mushrooms with Mouth Mushrooms
Cuisine: China
Ingredients: pine mushrooms (松蕈); mouth mushrooms (口蘑); autumn-pressed soy sauce (秋油)

Origin: Nanjing, Jiangsu, China

Source: Yuan Mei 袁枚, 1792

Ingredients

pine mushrooms (松蕈)
mouth mushrooms (口蘑)
autumn-pressed soy sauce (秋油)

Instructions

The finest preparation is to stir-fry pine mushrooms together with mouth mushrooms over heat. Alternatively, one may soak the mushrooms alone in autumn-pressed soy sauce (秋油) — this method is equally excellent. Note that these mushrooms do not keep well for extended storage. Placed among other dishes, they enhance the freshness of all. They may also be used as a tender base layer beneath bird's nest delicacies.
