Notes
- You don’t need to clean the mushrooms with water. They quickly absorb moisture and can lose their flavor and aroma if washed. If there is light dirt, you can easily remove it by wiping them with a paper towel.
- Don’t discard the tough shiitake stems! You can use them for sauteed shiitake mushrooms or creamy shiitake mushroom soup.
- When roasting shiitake mushrooms in the oven, you can place a sheet of parchment paper on a pan before arranging the mushrooms. This can help to prevent the mushrooms from sticking to the pan and make for easier clean-up afterward.
