Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Soak the 1 cup dried black fungus in warm water until soft, about 20 minutes. Drain and trim off any hard stems.

  2. Step 2

    Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the fungus, and cook for 2 minutes until tender. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.

  3. Step 3

    In a bowl, whisk together the 0.25 cup orange juice, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tsp sesame oil until combined.

  4. Step 4

    Add the cooked fungus and 0.25 cup walnuts to the dressing, tossing to coat. Slice the 2 scallions thinly and sprinkle over the top before serving.

  5. Step 5

    Serve chilled or at room temperature, garnished with extra scallions if desired.
