Method
- Rehydrate. Soak fungus in warm water for 20 minutes until fully expanded; trim any firm bases.
- Blanch. Boil for 3 minutes, drain and cool completely.
- Prepare cucumber. Lightly smash, then cut into bite-sized pieces.
- Dress. Mix vinegar, soy, sesame oil, sugar, garlic and chilli.
- Toss. Combine everything with coriander and sesame. Rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Chef's note: Drain the fungus thoroughly so the dressing clings instead of becoming watery.
