Frequently asked questions
How do you soak dried shiitake?
Leave them in warm water for 20–30 minutes. Lift them out once plump and trim the stem if it's tough.
Can I use the soaking water?
Yes, strain it into soup or pilaf. Use a fine strainer to catch any grit.
How far does 100 g go?
Dried mushrooms gain several times their weight when soaked. A few caps do a dish, so 100 g covers plenty of meals.
How should I store them?
Lid tight, in a cool, dry cupboard. Moisture spoils the aroma and texture.
Where can I find the origin and best-before date?
Batch, origin and best-before date are on the label and in the order confirmation.
