Reconstituted Shitake Mushrooms image

Delicious way to reconstitute dried shitake mushrooms for use in your recipes. A Japanese friend showed me how to make these a few months ago - they are moist and flavorful, you would never guess they started out dried. She used it to top a sushi salad, but they are also delicious alone. The broth makes a lovely soup too.

Time 35m

Yield 1 batch

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup dried shiitake mushroom
1 teaspoon dashi powder
1/4 cup mirin
2 tablespoons sake
4 tablespoons sugar
soy sauce
water

Steps:

  • Soak the shitake mushrooms in water according to package directions to hydrate.
  • In a small saucepan, cover the mushrooms with water. Add in the dashi, mirin, sake, sugar, and soy sauce. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 20-30 minutes.
  • When the mushrooms are tender, remove from soup and slice to use in your recipe. You can also make a decent soup out of the leftover broth by leaving in some sliced mushrooms, and adding a bit of diced tofu, etc. as you would with a miso soup.

Meh, these reconstituted shiitake mushrooms were just okay. They didn't really add much flavor to my dish.

These reconstituted shiitake mushrooms were a bit too chewy for my liking. I think I'll try soaking them for a shorter amount of time next time.
