Fresh Shiitake
Rich & Smoky
Rich, smoky umami — meaty chew with deep forest-floor depth. Turns silky and buttery when sautéed.
How to Cook Shiitake
Remove stems and slice caps thickly. Sauté slowly to release umami, or roast for a deeper, smoky flavour. Ideal for ramen, stir-fries, dumplings, risotto, and sauces.
