Shiitake, known botanically as Lentinula edodes, is a familiar edible mushroom used in many East Asian cuisines and in everyday cooking around the world. It is appreciated for its deep, savory flavor, often described as umami, and its firm texture. Shiitake are cultivated mushrooms; growers commonly raise them on hardwood logs or prepared growing blocks. Drying reduces their moisture and makes them easy to store before use.
To prepare these slices, cover them with warm water and allow about 20 minutes for rehydration. Keep the soaking liquid to add savory flavor to broth, or use the softened mushrooms in soups, sauces, rice dishes, or stir-fries. Store dried mushrooms in a sealed container in a cool, dry place, and follow any storage directions on the package.
