Dried mushrooms are a great way to add flavor and depth to dishes, and they’re definitely worth the investment. While they may not be as fresh as their fresh counterparts, they’re still packed with flavor and can be a great addition to soups, stews, and sauces. Plus, they’re easy to store and last for a long time.
There are pros and cons to both fresh and dried shiitake mushrooms. Fresh mushrooms have a shorter shelf life but are more versatile in cooking. They can be sauteed, grilled, roasted, or used in raw dishes. Dried mushrooms have a more intense flavor and can be used in soups, stews, and sauces. They also have a longer shelf life.
There is some evidence that shiitake mushrooms may be good for your liver. In one study, shiitake mushrooms were found to protect the liver from damage caused by alcohol. In another study, shiitake mushrooms were found to improve liver function in people with hepatitis B.

Sliced shiitake mushrooms go great with udon noodles, tofu, and scallions. I was purchasing individual 1oz bags of shiitake mushrooms from my neighborhood grocery store for a hefty price. Additionally, it takes around 45 minutes to get to the closest Asian store, so I decided to take a chance by getting these online.The mushrooms are excellent. They taste incredibly earthy and rehydrate very well. Since I seldom use shiitakes whole since they are so chewy, it didn't matter to me that they aren't the most gourmet shiitakes because of their variable size. Are the caps, which have ideal cracks on them, the optimum shiitake? No. However, you will have to pay more for those.In other product reviews I've read, folks experienced trouble rehydrating the mushrooms. With a 30-minute bath in hot water, they recovered without any problems. Given that the stems must be removed and that rehydrated shiitake mushrooms aren't commonly cooked intact, I wonder if those who experienced problems with rehydration weren't familiar with shiitakes (even fresh ones are usually sliced because of their texture). The only reason I awarded four instead of five stars is because they aren't exactly the same sizes as certain packages at Asian markets. They were great other from that.

I realize that dried mushrooms are absurd. They're actually rather excellent. I made the decision to test them after seeing someone talking about them on a keto forum. Excellent crunchy snack to replace foods like chips that I no longer eat. I was not let down. Definitely going to order more.

Given that it was reasonably priced and the goods looked to be of decent quality, I would probably give it five stars. After all, the rest is meaningless if they don't swell up after being hydrated and taste like shitake. I'll shortly give them a try and then reassess. They WILL be what I anticipated, I have a feeling. I've already tasted three different 'brands' of shitake, and I'm starting to have a better idea of what to anticipate. It appears that maintaining proper hydration, particularly for the Japanese, is something of an art form in and of itself. After all, the ideal is what one should pursue. Umami. By the way, I'd appreciate any advice on hydration from a real umami enthusiast. UPDATE: I can now drink these "mushrooms" and taste them. They did a good job of bulking up, although they were not very big. Overall, I gave them stars since the flavor was passable. They were, in my opinion, priceless. I'll keep buying these till I find something better.

These tiny Shiitake mushrooms have the most incredible flavour I have ever encountered in a mushroom, despite their diminutive size. Every time I purchase shiitake mushrooms from the store's local produce department, I always have extra mushrooms that spoil. With these adorable young ones, nothing could possibly go wrong. Only the necessary amount is used, and the remainder is stored for another day. Did I mention how delicious these mushrooms taste? Yes, I did.

I soaked two handfuls of these shiitake mushrooms in warm water today. The inedible shiitake stems were far too deeply buried after the mushrooms were reconstituted for them to be "pinch" off as one would with fresh shiitakes, so I chopped each mushroom in order to "discard" the stems (I put shiitake stems in a Ziploc and frozen them for mushroom stock). I had largely quartered mushrooms after some more slicing. They were difficult to chew. I hoped that using them in an Instant Pot recipe would tenderize them. No such luck: rough with a wonderful umami flavor. Remember that shiitake mushrooms rarely include grit, in contrast to porcini mushrooms, so going forward, I'll just smash my planned shiitakes in a food processor or blender before adding them to the recipe. I will keep purchasing them because they offer a pretty good bargain and have a nice umami flavor. UPDATE: I did use my food processor to grind up the remaining shiitakes, and I made the quick decision to use the powder and tiny pieces to make stock right away. The outcome was roughly 4 quarts of delicious, intensely flavorful, black, and rich shiitake "glop"—and I mean that in the best possible way since I wasn't going to strain it because I wanted all of the small bits of umami bombs that were still present. The "glop" was then put into pint and quart Mason jars and frozen. One of the pints was utilized to flavor my insanely wonderful mac and cheese. Today, I made a thick soup using 1 quart of "glop" and 1 pound of split peas, and the outcome was as delicious. Since I've been creating rich mushroom stock for the past 20 years, I won't have to spend as much money on fresh mushrooms or pricey little packs of porcini merely to make stock. I'll be ordering another bag of these mushrooms from Amazon as soon as I'm down to just 1 pint and 1 quart of shiitake "glop" in my freezer. I have therefore revised my rating to 5 stars because, now that I know how to handle them, they are undeniably worthwhile: 5-star flavor and 10-star value!

These Donko Shiitake mushrooms are of high grade and are log grown. The Donko variety has a thicker, less-open cap. When rehydrated, these have a thick, meaty feel. If you're doing two or three, placing the mushrooms cap side down in a large, deep coffee cup will help them soak up all the liquid. I've discovered a little soy sauce bowl that about fits the cup's diameter. I carefully set the dish on top while I delicately fill the cup until the bubbles begin to float before tapping the cup to release the air bubbles. By adding boiling water, the soaking process can be accelerated. If I'm making a dish, I usually soak things in cold water for the night. Any dish can benefit from the soaking water's umami enhancement! Simply strain it.

This Shiitake mushroom is called “Koshin†and is picked after the cap of the Mushroom blooms into an umbrella. It is more large and flat than the “Donko†Shiitake mushroom which is picked earlier while the cap is still in a bud form. Since Koshin is less thick than the Donko, it is easier and quicker to use requiring less time to rehydrate. Koshin is best used cut and in stir-fries, soups, sauces, where smaller pieces are used with other ingredients.

Made a vegetarian pho with these. outstanding taste The only issue I encountered was that the suggested hydration procedure did not work as intended. I submerged the shitake in cold water, let them sink, and then chilled them for 24 hours. They were still floating after two hours. I then divided them into pieces as per the rapid technique of preparation and re-immersed them in cold water. The majority of them sank. The remainder floated for the full 24-hour period and stayed floating.Although it's not a big deal, I figured I'd share my story.
