Dried Shiitake Mushrooms

I was making potstickers/wontons I call them. I don't know much about Asian food and I got this recipe from a co-worker years ago! They were awesome! I reconstituted them in boiling water and wasn't in the position to save the broth (as the packaging advises), but I would for sure next time if I was being adventurous and doing soups or similar. Heck, on second thought, I should have just let the broth cool and drank it myself! Delicious! I used to order a brand from Amazon religiously for this recipe but they were discontinued some time ago. I tried the Vigorous Mountain Dried Shiitakes this time and they were out of this word. Good sizes, thick and meaty. Package was huge and price very reasonable compared to what I used to pay for the small size other brand. Highly recommended from a basic beginner with one recipe that is devoured every time I make it. Best mushrooms I've ever used in it.

These dried mushrooms are great for flavoring dishes! The reconstitute quickly and add just the fight amount of umami I am looking for! Plus you get a lot for your money. This is a good buy!

this is the best shiitake mushrooms. I just got tired to buy fresh mushrooms, hard to find the fresh one and when try to use it already not fresh fresh all. This one , I can use whenever I need. This is the best shiitake mushrooms.

These are very beautiful when completely hydrated, adds a visually deliciousness to my ramen.

Perfect item to keep handy in the kitchen. I use these for everything. No more losing mushrooms to expiring.

My husband and I moved from the San Francisco Bay Area to Northwest Kansas 10 years ago. Finding cooking ingredients that were always available there have become scavenger hunts out here. Thus, Amazon plays a huge part in providing mushrooms, grains, various mixes, etc. We order a good variety of dried mushrooms, sometimes reconstituting and sometimes just breaking them in pieces and throwing them in the pot as is. We've never been disappointed in Vigorous Mountain products.

The Shiitake really added to the tsuya I made for the cold somen I was craving. The smaller size made them easy to rehydrate.

it doesn’t have as much flavor as I got when buying it from the Oriental food store.
