So, what's the deal with these dried Shiitake shrooms? Anyone know
how to deal with these so that they turn out as tasty as they look?

How to soak dried shiitake mushrooms
Put dried shiitake mushrooms in pan and pour water. If you put a pinch of
sugar, mushrooms'll become soft quickly. Bring to boil and immediately
turn
off heat and leave for 30 minutes. Or if you have time, put mushrooms into
water and leave for a night, it'll extract more aroma.

Thanks Jeannie, I'm going to soak some today while I'm at work and see what
I can whip up for dinner.
