What happens if I use fresh mushrooms to make vegetarian Chinese mushroom soup (冬菇湯)?

Seasoned Advice Asked on January 8, 2021

What changes if I use fresh mushrooms, rather than dried, to make Chinese mushroom soup (冬菇湯)? I’ll be shunning meat. Note that unlike Western mushroom soups, mushrooms aren’t blended in Chinese soups.

Top. Middle. Bottom.

Fresh/raw mushrooms are quite bland by themselves (yes I know there are exceptions).

I suggest pan fry in oil them before using them in the soup, or chop them up and bake them in the oven on a sheet pan.

When you are using dried mushroom, you will re-hydrate them in water and you will usually use the resulting liquid which contains a lot of flavor in the recipe.
