About Mushrooms, shiitake, cooked, with salt

Shiitake (Lentinula edodes) is a meaty, amber-brown mushroom native to East Asia and prized across Japanese, Chinese, and Korean kitchens for its deep, savory, almost smoky flavor. Its umbrella-shaped caps carry far more umami than mild button mushrooms, whether you cook them fresh or use them dried and rehydrated, which only concentrates the taste. Shiitakes are low in calories and a good source of B vitamins, copper, selenium, and fiber, and they have a long history in traditional medicine for compounds now studied for immune support.

Slice the caps into stir-fries, simmer them in miso soup and ramen broth, braise them with soy and ginger, or roast them until the edges crisp; the woody stems are usually saved for stock. Choose plump, firm caps with edges that curl under, store fresh shiitakes in a paper bag in the refrigerator, and keep dried ones in a sealed jar in the pantry.
