Chrysanthemum Broccoli

Ingredients:
20g - Dried white wood ear fungus
10g (3-4 tbsp) - Dried chrysanthemum flowers
1 bunch - Broccoli, cut into bite size pieces, discarding the stem (or saving for a soup)
2 tbsp - Soy sauce
2 tbsp - Lemon juice
2 tbsp - Sesame oil
1/2 tsp - Honey, maple syrup or other natural sweetener

Directions:

1. Soak the white wood ear and chrysanthemum flowers in warm water for 15 to 20 minutes,
   then drain. Wash the wood ear, cut off its tough fibrous base and cut into 1/4 inch wide
   strips.


2. In a large pot, bring to a boil enough water to cover the ingredients. Add the white wood ear,
   chrysanthemum flowers and broccoli, and cook, covered for 4 to 6 minutes, until the
   broccoli is tender but not mushy. Drain the water and let the vegetables cool. Remove the
   chrysanthemum flowers.


3. In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, lemon juice, sesame oil, and honey (if using) to
   make a dressing.


4. In a serving bowl, toss the vegetables with the dressing. Serve at room temperature.
