Recipe

Wipe off dust from fresh shiitake mushrooms without washing, then separate caps from stems.
Dry the mushrooms thoroughly using a dehydrator (70°C, 12 hours) followed by sun-drying (5 hours), then cool completely.
Grind the dried mushrooms with one tablespoon of salt-free sea salt in a blender and store in an airtight container.

Cooking tips

Do not wash shiitake mushrooms with water, as they absorb moisture and may spoil due to poor drying.
When placing mushrooms in the dehydrator, ensure the cap’s inner side faces upward so they dry evenly and maintain their shape.
Adding salt-free sea salt during grinding allows you to adjust seasoning while cooking and simplifies balancing flavors.
Never open the blender lid immediately after grinding—wait 2–3 minutes to let the fine particles settle to avoid airborne mess.

Recommended for
