Powdered shiitake mushrooms ⋅ Matsuoka shiitake ⋅ 60g

Based in Oita, Matsuoka Shiitake has specialized in shiitake production since 1901. Now run by the fifth generation, the company perpetuates ancestral know-how in the mountains of the Bungo region to produce quality shiitakes.

1. Run the dried mushrooms under cold water to remove any impurities.
2. Place in a bowl and cover generously with lukewarm or cold water (avoid boiling water, which hardens the texture).
3. Soak for 20-30 minutes for quick use, or 2-3 hours (or even overnight in the fridge) for optimal rehydration.
4. Drain mushrooms and squeeze out excess water.
5. Keep the soaking liquid: the resulting broth is rich in aromas. Strain through a fine sieve or gauze, then use as a base for soups, sauces or broths.
6. Cut and cook mushrooms as you would fresh ones (wok, soup, stew...).

Note: the stems of shiitake mushrooms, which are often more fibrous, can be set aside to flavour a broth.

Store away from light, heat and moisture. After opening, store in a cool place.
