[Bundle of 2] Chwee Song Mongolian Fa Cai 37.5g

Chwee Song Mongolian Fa Cai is a packet of dried black moss (hair vegetable) that is a traditional ingredient in Chinese and especially Cantonese cuisine. The product weighs 37.5g and originates from China, specifically the Gobi Desert regions. 

Appearance: When dried, it resembles fine black hair (hence the name "hair vegetable"). Once soaked, it has a soft, fine, vermicelli-like texture.

Culinary Use: It is highly valued for its name, "fa cai" (发财), which is a homophone for "get rich" or "prosperity" in Chinese. Due to this auspicious association, it is a "must-have" ingredient, particularly in celebratory Chinese New Year dishes, soups, and braised foods. It absorbs the flavors of the broth or accompanying ingredients it is cooked with.

Ingredients: The product is simply the dried black moss itself (a type of terrestrial cyanobacterium).

Preparation: It requires a brief soak in warm water to soften before being added to dishes.

Brand: Chwee Song Supplies Pte Ltd is a Singapore-based company specializing in Chinese herbs, herbal soups, and dried food products.
