Health Benefits of zhen mo
The soul ingredient of north-eastern chicken stew
Fresh honeysuckle mushroom (榛蘑) has ~9.5g protein and ~10.4g fibre per 100g - the irreplaceable core of the northeast classic 'little-chicken stew with mushroom'. Stewed, it releases a unique nutty aroma and mushroom umami that permeate the chicken's savour. A standard serving (~100-150g fresh) adds ~10-15g plant protein.
Season and storage of the wild mushroom
Honeysuckle mushroom is mycorrhizal, symbiotic with hazel and pine roots, and essentially impossible to cultivate - almost all is wild-harvested. It peaks in late summer/early autumn; the fresh season is short, so market supply is mostly frozen or dried. Dried kernels keep their aroma and stay chewy after stewing. Pick ones with tan caps and sturdy stems.
