How to Make Reconstituted Shitake Mushrooms
- Place 1 cup dried shiitake mushrooms in a bowl and cover with 2 cups boiling water. Let soak for 20-30 minutes, or until completely rehydrated.
- In a small saucepan, combine the rehydrated shiitake mushrooms (reserve the soaking liquid!), 1 cup of the soaking liquid, 1/4 cup dashi, 2 tablespoons mirin, 1 tablespoon sake, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1 tablespoon soy sauce.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 20-30 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender.
- Remove the mushrooms from the saucepan and set aside. Slice the mushrooms before using in your favorite recipe.
- **Optional:** For a delicious soup, return some of the sliced mushrooms to the broth. Add 1/2 cup cubed silken tofu and any other desired vegetables (like spinach or scallions). Simmer for another 5 minutes. Season with extra soy sauce to taste.
- Serve your flavorful rehydrated shiitake mushrooms and enjoy the umami-rich broth!
