How to prepare dried shiitake mushrooms

Cover the mushrooms in boiling water. Soak for 20 minutes. The mushrooms should double in size.

Strain the liquid and use it in stocks, congee, and soups.

Discard the stems – they're too tough to eat. Slice the mushrooms and add to stir-fries, soups, and curries.
