This is an excellent way to prepare beefsteak fungus, but you need to pick young specimens (when they are small, tongue-line and red) to ensure that they do not contain too many bitter tannins.
Ingredients:
450g beefsteak fungus
6 shallots, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/2 tsp fresh thyme, finely chopped
salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
1 tbsp butter
Method:
Clan the beefsteak fungus then cut into very fine slices. Combine in a frying pan with the shallots and garlic. Add just enough water to barely cover the contents of the pan then bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Season to taste with the salt and black pepper then add the thyme and butter.
Return to a simmer and continue cooking until the liquid has reduced to a thick sauce. Serve with rice, noodles or mashed potatoes.
