Method
- Use cultivated edible mushrooms unless a qualified local forager has identified traditional sal-ang beyond doubt.
- Bring salted water to a boil, blanch the mushrooms for 2 minutes, and drain immediately.
- Cool under running potable water, squeeze gently, and spread on a clean towel to remove excess moisture.
- Whisk vinegar, calamansi, ginger, chile, and optional sugar.
- Combine mushrooms, onion, tomato, and spring onion in a bowl and toss with the dressing.
- Chill for 15 minutes, taste, and adjust salt or acid in small amounts.
- Serve the same day while the mushrooms remain springy and the vinegar dressing tastes fresh.
