GGFT Shiitake Mushroom Dry A-Grade - 1KG
Dried shiitake, 1kg. This is a 1KG pack of dried shiitake mushrooms — sun-dried whole mushrooms that develop intense umami concentration through the drying process, with deep, earthy, meaty flavour and chewy-tender texture when rehydrated. Rehydrate in warm water before use; save the soaking liquid for stocks. Sold under the GGFT name.
Use it for Japanese miso soup, dashi stock, and ramen broth, Chinese stir-fries and braised dishes, Asian vegetarian "meaty" applications, plant-based protein, and Asian dumpling, bao, and spring roll fillings. Rehydrate them before they go into the dish.
Store it cool and dry. Close the pack as soon as you have taken what you need. Humidity softens it, so do not leave it open.
