Preparing Shiitake Mushrooms – Shiitake Mushroom Recipe Ideas

The shiitake is a versatile food that can be incorporated into a variety of dishes. They’re becoming more popular due to their nutritional value. When preparing shiitake mushrooms, you want to cut off the stems because they’re too woody to eat, but you don’t have to throw them out. Add the stems to a veggie stock to soak up all of those nutrients. Make sure to rinse the mushrooms thoroughly. They can be placed in a bowl of hot water for about 10 minutes to eliminate any residue and then rinsed. Now you’re ready to add them to your breakfast, lunch or dinner. Here are some ideas to get you started:
