I like to think of them as healthy little punches of flavor since they contain no fat, and even vegans can eat them. Having dried shiitake mushrooms stocked in your pantry means that you always have a flavorful ingredient at your fingertips. They can last for months, maybe even years, if stored in an airtight container in a cool place or the refrigerator. Reach for dried shiitake mushrooms when making Chinese sticky rice, soup or broth, and when you need another ingredient to add to a stir-fry. Another great thing about using dried mushrooms? Since you have to re-hydrate them in hot water before they can be used, the mushroom soaking liquid that you're left with is a tasty bonus ingredient! Don't waste that liquid - use it in the place of chicken broth or as the base of a sauce. Shiitake is also commonly called "sawtooth oak mushroom", "black forest mushroom", "black mushroom", "golden oak mushroom", or "oakwood mushroom".
