Terroir: Areas around Hile township of Dhankuta district (27°00′N, 87°18′E) is where we grow our own shiitake and the farm lies at an altitude of about 1750 meters. Dried shiitake mushrooms have a rich savory taste & a high concentration of umami flavor. Once harvested, each mushroom is delicately cleaned before slow drying.
Rehydrate mushrooms in cold water at 2°C to 4°C for 12-24 hours preferably in a fridge before use. It is recommended to use about 10 gm of dried shiitake per 100ml cold water. Use the infused water as soup stock.
- Only Shiitake (Lentinula edodes) mushroom
- No added sugar, salt, colour or preservatives.
- The water in which the shiitake was infused is packed with nutrients & umami flavor. Once boiled, it is good to drink by itself or used as soup stock for ramen / noodles, pasta, or rice.
- The rehydrated mushrooms can be sautéed, baked, steamed or boiled to go in vegetable, momo or chicken dishes.
- Keep in sealed packet or airtight container to maintain quality.
