My favorite brunch has always been – anything that has mushrooms on it. But, going out for brunch can be very expensive, so I like to make my own.
If you want to have a delicious brunch, and you love shiitake mushrooms just as much as I do, make this recipe!
Cooking Shiitake – Some Tips!
Do You Have to Soak Shiitake Mushrooms Before Cooking?
You only need to soak the shiitake mushrooms if you are using dried shiitake.
If you are using fresh, all you need to do is just wash them very well and pat dry them.
Is It Better To Saute Mushrooms In Oil Or Butter?
That would totally depend on your preference. If you want a creamier texture for your mushrooms, use butter.
Using oil allows for a better sear of your mushrooms, but it’s important that you use quality oil, avoid palm oil and any seed oils such as rapeseed oil.
How Long Should Shiitake Mushrooms Be Cooked?
The amount of time you cook your shiitake mushrooms will very much depend on the heat you are using.
However, a general rule of thumb is to cook them between 6-10 minutes. Some people prefer them extra seared, others prefer them a bit soft, so it’s totally up to you.
