I love simmered shiitake mushrooms.
It's a family favorite!

If you allow the shiitake mushrooms to reconstitute overnight, they'll become tender.
I made 5 sushi rolls with this amount. Recipe by Pecchin

Combine the dashi soup stock and the soaking water from the shiitake in a pot, cut off the stems of the shiitake, add it to the pot, then simmer.

Carefully remove any scum that rises to the top.

After simmering for 5 minutes, add the sugar and mirin, then simmer for about 5 more minutes to sweeten.

Add the soy sauce. Simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes on very low heat until the soy sauce thickens.

Remove from heat, and let the mushrooms marinate in the sauce until they cool.

I used them in country-style fat sushi rolls. You can enjoy them on their own too!
