Cooking
Cooking
Shiitake mushrooms are prized for their bold, umami flavour and chewy, satisfying texture. They’re perfect for stir-fries, soups, and noodle dishes, or simply sautéed with soy sauce and garlic for a rich, savoury side. Their hearty caps soak up flavours beautifully, making them a versatile addition to both everyday and gourmet recipes.
