Wok-fried trumpeter with porcini mushroomsPan-Asian cuisine | Main courses

Trumpeter is a tasty relative of the rapana, which can easily be turned into rubber if handled improperly. A wok is a salvation in this sense, as the mollusk cooks almost instantly and does not have time to dry out. Porcini mushrooms are added to the dish for aroma and texture similarity to trumpeter meat. Recipe by chef Evgeny Meshcheryakov, from the menu of the restaurant "More".
