Shiitake mushrooms are noted for their wonderful distinctly woodsy flavors. These mushrooms are a perfect addition to many different types of entrees and soups, especially those with an Asian theme.Caps: Measuring some 4-5cm (almost 2 inches) in diameter these huge, stemless caps are of outstanding quality. Use them whole or sliced in soups, stir fries and sauces.Sliced: Shiitakes like other mushrooms in the dried form possess intense flavor characteristics. A combination of shiitakes, sugar, soy sauce and water makes a great base for stir-frys. Butter, garlic, chili powder, coriander and pepper all go well with shiitakes. They are also rich in several anti-oxidants and vitamin D.Chopped: These small pieces of chopped shiitake mushroom ranging in size from one fourth to one third inches are perfect for putting into soups, stews, sauces, pastas, pasta sauces. No chopping or cutting is required. Just reconstitute as you normally do with the shiitake slices and add these delicious 'kibbles' to your dish.
