Storage: Transfer sauteed mushrooms to an airtight container and keep it in the fridge. Good for 3 to 5 days.
There is no need to rinse shiitake mushrooms. They absorb water quickly and can lose flavor if washed. For light dirt, wipe them with a paper towel
Before cooking, separate the stem and cap of shiitake mushrooms. The stems are tough, so slice them thinly to cook evenly.
Shiitake mushrooms can stick to the pan, so using a non-stick pan will help them cook easily without breaking.
