NUTRITIVE VALUE
Dried Shiitake Mushrooms are high in nutrient value, containing a lot of protein. It is a high-fibre, low-fat healthy product.
HOW TO USE
Rehydrate dried mushrooms in water and remove the tough stems. The best method is to submerge the mushrooms in a bowl of cold water with the caps facing up. Next, leave the mushrooms in the fridge to soak for a few hours or until softened. The exact soaking time will depend on the thickness of the mushroom caps.
Please note: do not use boiling water to speed up the process as this will dissolve the guanylic acid and will ruin the taste and features of the mushrooms.
Once rehydrated, mushrooms will become tender and spongey. The mushrooms can be added into simmered or steamed foods, mixed into rice or added to soups. The leftover brown liquid from rehydrating is shiitake dashi, a by-product of the soaking process. This liquid contains nutrients and flavours which can be used as an ingredient to make soup or used as a broth.
