Dried Whole Shiitake Mushrooms 50g

Like other mushrooms, shiitakes are a type of fungus. Shiitake mushrooms also go by the names black mushrooms, golden oak mushrooms, and dried winter mushrooms. While fresh shiitakes are readily available, the dried variety have an even more intense flavour and so they are sometimes preferred.

Flavourful shiitake mushrooms are such a foundation of Asian cooking. They have an intense flavour used in soups, braises, and steamed dishes. Made from smoked fresh shiitake mushrooms, they have an intense smoky flavour and a meaty texture. They have a very concentrated flavour and most of the time cannot be replaced by fresh shiitake mushrooms. Dried shiitake mushrooms can easily add deep savoury flavour, umami.
