Whether fresh or dried, bamboo fungus is an easy ingredient to cook. After soaking, bamboo fungus is usually cooked for about 3 minutes. Therefore, we recommend that you add the bamboo fungus about 3 minutes before serving. This ensures that the nutritional value of the bamboo fungus is not lost, and that the flavor and texture of the bamboo fungus can be savored. . You may ask, cooking for 3 minutes is not enough time at all for the bamboo fungus to taste crunchy. In fact, crunchy is the texture of bamboo fungus, even if you cook it for a longer period of time. If you use bamboo fungus in hot pot, I think it would be a waste! Shabu-shabu with bamboo fungus is similar to stew in that bamboo fungus is placed in boiling soup. The difference is that in bamboo fungus stew, the broth is usually finished, whereas in hotpot shabu-shabu you can't finish the broth as well. So we suggest that you try to eat the bamboo fungus after a minute or so of shabu-shabu, otherwise all the nutrients of the fungus will be lost in the soup.
