    • Soy-Marinated Shiitake Mushrooms

    Why This Recipe Works:

    Mushrooms are like little sponges that soak up any flavor you cook them in. This simple but flavorful soy sauce-based marinade becomes almost syrupy when simmered with sliced shiitake mushrooms. The marinade also acts as a preservative that keeps the mushrooms fresh in your fridge for a couple of weeks. If you find yourself with extra mushrooms, this recipe is a great way to extend their shelf life if you don't plan to use them right away!

    Ingredient Notes:

    Recipe FAQ's:

    What do shiitake mushrooms taste like?

    Shiitake mushrooms are a great balance of flavor somewhere between standard white mushrooms and more exotic gourmet mushrooms. They're earthy without being too overpowering and firm enough to hold their shape when cooked without being too rubbery.

    Should I wash shiitake mushrooms?

    Mushrooms should always be washed before using. Dirt and other organic matter can get stuck in the gills. Gently wash the entire mushroom before using to prevent grittiness in your dishes.

    What do I do with soy-marinated mushrooms?

    Soy-marinated mushrooms are a great topping for lots of Asian dishes or as part of an appetizer spread. They're delicious when eaten eaten warm or cold!
