Second, the steps and methods of soaking mushrooms:

1, wash the shiitake mushrooms with clear water to wash away the dust on their surfaces.

2. Prepare a bowl of warm water and soak the mushrooms in it for about an hour.

3. Then stir in one direction with your fingers or shake the stems of the mushrooms in the water with their heads down, so that the sediment in them sinks to the bottom of the bowl. Just clean it again at last.

Third, use warm water to soak dried mushrooms.

The reason why dried mushrooms have delicious taste is mainly because they contain mushroom essence and guanylic acid, two components with delicious taste. Especially guanylic acid, its umami flavor intensity is dozens of times that of ordinary monosodium glutamate. These two components are only at 25 ~ 35? It will not be decomposed and oxidized in the environment of degrees Celsius. Therefore, when people soak dried mushrooms, it is best to use 25 to 35? Warm water at degrees Celsius can not only make dried mushrooms more easily absorb water and soften, but also preserve their umami flavor. In addition, people should not soak dried shiitake mushrooms for too long (it is advisable to soak dried shiitake mushrooms completely), and don't soak shiitake mushrooms with hot water, because hot water will make the volatile substances in shiitake mushrooms lose and the aroma will be greatly reduced.
