Ingredients
- 1 1/2 ounces dried mushrooms (see note 1)
- 1/2 cup boiling water (see note 2)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, add dried mushrooms and boiling water. Let sit until soft and pliable, about 5 to 10 minutes for dried porcini mushrooms and up to 30 minutes for dried shiitake mushrooms.
- Drain well and finely chop mushrooms or prepare as directed in your recipe. To reserve soaking liquid (delicious for adding even more flavor), strain through a fine-mesh strainer lined with paper towel or a coffee filter to remove any grit.
Notes
- Mushrooms: This method works with many dried mushrooms such as porcini or shiitake (but soak times may vary).
- Water: To infuse even more flavor into your dried mushrooms, soak in chicken broth, beef broth, or vegetable stock.
- Yield: 1 1/2 ounces of dried mushrooms is equivalent to 8 ounces of fresh mushrooms.
- Storage: Dried mushrooms may last up to 3 years in the pantry (read the package to check with your particular brand).
