sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I've eaten that many times, it's used in many chinese meals and tastes not bad. Check the Wiki entry to explain the "Jew" part.

天然木耳 translates directly to Natural Wood Ear.

Wood Ear (Mu Er or 木耳) is how Chinese say Fungus.

[RELEVANT]

It's english name is "Jews Ear" so this isn't a bad translation, except that 天然 actually means natural, not instant.

It's kinda rubbery, and doesn't have a strong flavour. You see it added to lots of soups and sauces. It's often in Hot and Sour soup, but I don't really like that as it's got far too much flavour (the soup, not the fungus).
