Shiitake Mushroom Slices

OliveNation shiitake mushroom slices are dehydrated for superior shelf life and pre-sliced for ease of use. Known and prized around the world for their rich, earthy umami taste, these versatile dried fungi taste delicious in many different dishes. Try our pre-sliced shiitake mushrooms in stir fry recipes, dumpling and roll fillings, in savory breads, in rice and pasta dishes, or in soups, stews, and broths. The long shelf life of these dehydrated fungi makes them ideal for use in prepared dry mixes as well as a pantry staple for home, institutional and restaurant food service applications. Bulk sliced shiitake mushrooms are easy to store, but easy to rehydrate for use as anything from a main protein in vegan dishes, a flavor-enhancing umami element in chopped fillings, and a rich, earthy ingredient adding meaty texture and taste to rice, pasta, savory bread, or Asian-inspired recipes.

How to Rehydrate Shiitake Mushrooms:

First rinse the mushrooms until they are fully clean. Rehydrate in warm (not boiling) water, wine, or stock for 20 to 30 minutes, then drain and use as desired. In addition, the liquid used for rehydrating can be retained and used to add additional depth of flavor to stocks, soups, or sauces.
