Dried shiitake mushrooms, or “Chinese longevity mushrooms”, are widely used in many Thai, Japanese and Chinese cuisines.

Shiitake mushrooms are highly valued both for their unique deep “meaty” taste and very bright aroma, as well as for the health benefits of this Chinese longevity mushroom. Eating shiitake will lower blood cholesterol levels, speed up metabolism, and the most important property is to reduce high blood pressure in hypertensive patients.

Shiitake mushrooms retain their aroma and taste well when dried. Before use, dried shiitake should be soaked for 15-20 minutes in hot water.

Shiitake mushrooms are widely used in soups, stews or fried vegetables with meat or chicken.

Mushrooms are added to soups ten minutes before cooking, after cutting the shiitake into strips. Delicious dishes with a distinctly Asian touch are obtained from shiitake mushrooms fried with meat or chicken with the addition of a small amount of vegetables.
