Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 8 servings

Ingredients

3 cups dried shiitake mushrooms (about 3 ounces)
1/3 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon raw or brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Bring 3 cups dried shiitake mushrooms (about 3 ounces), 1/3 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce, 1 tablespoon raw or brown sugar, and 1 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan. Cover pan; reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are softened and all liquid is absorbed, 12-15 minutes.

    Let mushrooms cool slightly, then thinly slice. Transfer to a small bowl, add 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds, and season with freshly ground black pepper.
