Taste & Role
🐟 UmamiSavory
Umami booster in braises and stir-fry sauces.
What it is
Dried shiitakes concentrate glutamates far beyond fresh ones; a few soaked slices transform a braise. Soak in warm water 30 minutes, and save the soaking liquid — it is liquid umami for the sauce. Slotted caps go into the dish; tough stems go into stock.
