White Cloud Ear Fungus, Lotus Seed, Lily Bulb, Longan in chicken soup
White cloud ears 云耳 are another Chinese delicacy. They don't have much flavour to them, but you can boil them quickly for a crunchy texture, or stew them so that they go soft and silky.
The cheaper 黑木耳 black wood ears are often used, blanched, in salads, in stir fries, or stewed with pork.
Here, I've made a chicken soup with 莲子 lotus seeds, 百合 lily bulbs and longan 龙眼 and added the cloud ear fungus about half an hour before serving so that they are soft and silky, but still retain a firmness.
