This Shiitake mushroom is called \u201cKoshin\u201d and is picked after the cap of the Mushroom blooms into an umbrella. It is more large and flat than the \u201cDonko\u201d Shiitake mushroom which is picked earlier while the cap is still in a bud form. Since Koshin is less thick than the Donko, it is easier and quicker to use requiring less time to rehydrate. Koshin is best used cut and in stir-fries, soups, sauces, where smaller pieces are used with other ingredients.<\/p>\n
For the most delicious Shiitake, please soak in cold water for 24 hours in the fridge. To reduce soaking time, take out the Shiitake one hour after you started soaking the mushrooms, chop into small pieces and soak for another hour and then use as needed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
