How to cook Hericium mushroom stewed chicken
Ingredients: 3 chicken thighs, 4 Hericium cakes, oyster sauce, wolfberry, salt
Cooking method< /p>
1. Soak the hericium first
I bought the hericium pressed into cakes, which is difficult to soak. I soaked it in warm water for about 4 hours. I also kneaded it with my hands and squeezed out water to soak the Hericium mushrooms as quickly as possible. I bought individual dried hericium mushrooms before, and the soaking time was faster than the ones pressed into cakes. Therefore, it is recommended that when buying Hericium erinaceus, you buy individual Hericium erinaceus mushrooms that are not pressed into cakes. The roots of Hericium erinaceus are a bit bitter, so cut off the roots if there are any after soaking.

Stew Hericium and chicken together. The flavor of Hericium can be cooked into the soup. At the same time, Hericium can also increase the fragrance of chicken. The taste of Hericium itself is also richer and mellower. I like it. You might as well give this dish a try!
