Pineapple contains bromelain, which helps break down protein and aids digestion. Wood ear mushrooms are rich in iron and gelatinous fiber, and their high water absorption can help you feel full. The combination of the chewy wood ear mushrooms and the sweet-tart pineapple makes this dish juicy, refreshing, and appetizing.

Tips:
* You can add some shredded carrot and green onion for extra color and a prettier presentation.
* For the pineapple: Stir-fry and simmer it with the ginger first to bring out its sweet aroma and make the dish more appetizing and refreshing.
* For the wood ear mushrooms: Don’t overcook them, or they’ll become too soft. Stir-fry just enough to keep them crisp!
