SKU: 3163 18C 0107Shiitake Mushroom dried 45g
Fresh shiitake (an Asian mushroom type) is dried, and after being soaked is used as a seasoning in Chinese and Japanese cuisines. The drying process gives the dried shiitake an extra taste depth. There are both shiitake with dark hats and with white-marbled hats (huagu zijn) for sale, in all kinds of quality varieties. Has a very intense, beautiful mushroom flavor.
Method of use
Soak the dried shiitake in just boiled water until they have softened after 30 minutes. You can also soak in cold water, but that takes a few hours. Cut the hard pieces off the stem and gently squeeze the mushrooms. Then cut into pieces or process in their entirety. Do not throw away the soaking water from the mushrooms, but use it in soups or dishes as an extra seasoning.
