Shangluo Black Fungus

　　Shangluo black fungus, historically known as “Shangluo Ear,” has long been praised as a delicacy among mountain specialties. Throughout history, the people of Shangzhou have regarded “Shangluo Ear” as an esteemed gift, and merchants visiting Shangzhou considered it a great honor to enjoy this delicacy. Hence, there are verses of praise: “When guests come from afar, serve them Shangluo Ear, let them savor this rare treat, and repay them with this mountain delicacy.”

Shangluo black fungus is characterized by its large size, thick flesh, freshness, and resistance to spoilage. Stir-frying it with pork belly is one of the most beloved signature dishes. Not only does it make the fatty meat deliciously tender without greasiness, but it also offers a refreshing aroma, stimulates the appetite, and aids digestion. When prepared as a fresh fungus soup with starch noodles, daylily, and five-spice seasonings, it not only boasts vibrant color and fragrant taste, but also strengthens the spleen and stomach, refreshes the mind, and enhances intelligence.
