Dried shiitake magic mushrooms
Shiitake mushrooms are one of the most popular ingredients in Chinese cuisine.
Shiitake is thought to be the oldest cultivated mushroom, and has been preserved by drying for centuries.
They are known for their rich, savory flavor (they lend umami to countless Asian dishes) and for their meaty texture.
Shiitakes are a mushroom whose flavor becomes concentrated when they’re dried, and their firm flesh makes them robust enough to come through the dehydration process well.
