How to Make Mushroom Soy Sauce

  1. In a large pot, bring 2 cups of soy sauce to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Do not boil.
  2. Add 1 pound of dried shiitake mushrooms.
  3. Remove from heat and let the mushrooms steep in the soy sauce until it has cooled to room temperature (approximately 60-75 minutes).
  4. Line a fine-mesh sieve with a double layer of cheesecloth. Place the sieve over a large bowl.
  5. Carefully pour the mushroom and soy sauce mixture through the cheesecloth, allowing the liquid to drain into the bowl.
  6. Gently squeeze the cheesecloth to extract as much flavorful liquid as possible from the mushrooms.
  7. Discard the mushrooms and store your homemade mushroom soy sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
