Wood Ear Stir-Fry

Wood Ear Stir-Fry

We have a friend who is very much a coastal forager and is now exploring the delights of Fungus foraging. There are a few fungi which are edible and really don’t have any toxic look-alikes. Wood Ears (Auricularia auricula-Judae) are one of these and a great starters foraged fungus. We had a donation yesterday and cobbled this stir-fry together to go with our Giant Toad In The Hole.


A cautionary note:- Wood Ears have a nasty habit of spitting quite dramatically when fried. Stand back! They also act as a flavour sponge, which is cool!

Ingredients:-

Sliced Wood Ears
Cavolo Nero, de-stemmed and sliced
Minced Ginger
Minced Garlic
Chiili Flakes
A Squeeze of Lemon juice
Oil to fry

Method:-

(1) Slice the Wood ears into strips.
(2) Add the Oil to a large frying pan or Wok.
(3) Fry and stir.

1 Tbsp of Tomato Puree
3 Tbsp of Tomato Ketchup
1 Tbsp of Soy Sauce ( Gluten free in our case )

1 Tsp of Hot Chilli Jam sauce

(1) Fry the Onions in a little oil on a low heat to soften.
(2) Add the Garlic and fry for a further minute.

(4) Season with Salt & Pepper.
(5) Add the Ketchup, Soy Sauce, Henderson’s and Hot Chilli Jam and allow to simmer for 2 minutes.
(6) Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
(7) Coat the Ribs on both sides with the sauce, making sure that they are coated evenly.
(8) Place in the fridge for 2 hours or so.
(9) Heat the Air Fryer to 180c and cook the Ribs for 10 minutes.
(10) Increase the temperature to 190c and cook for a further 5 to 7 minutes, depending in the thickness of the Ribs.
(11) Remove and cover to rest.

To be honest we might be trying to ‘Boil Eggs in a solar oven in Iceland’ here. We’ve had much better Ribs cooked long and slowly in the conventional oven. However the was really good.
