   Besides the mandatory use in Chinese Hot & Sour Soup, I've been using it   
   in fried rice w/fish, seaweed, onions and sliced wood ear.  I saute and   
   season everything except the rice in olive oil, soy sauce and a little   
   brown sugar.  Then add the rice into the same pan, turn up the heat and   
   fry everything.  The wood ears are sliced using sharp scissors.
