| 1.Wash the mushrooms briefly in plenty of water to clean
the surface. Change the water and allow the mushrooms to soak. |
2.The mushrooms will float, so place a wooden drop-lid
on them so that they are fully immersed in the water. Leave for
5-6 hours for them to become fully rehydrated. |
3.When fully rehydrated, clean off any dirt on the underside
of the cap and elsewhere.
The water from the rehydrating process contains the
flavour and aroma of the shiitake mushrooms, so can be
used to make stock. |
