Shiitake Mushrooms
Fresh and dried shiitake mushrooms have many uses in East Asian cuisine. In Chinese dishes, they are often sautéed in vegetarian meals. In Japan, they are served in miso soup. In Korean cuisine, they are commonly used in dishes such as bulgogi (marinated grilled beef). Luckily, these tasty mushrooms have a place in American cuisine as well!
