How to use it
Soak the dried pieces in warm water for twenty to thirty minutes until pliable, squeeze them out and keep the soaking liquid for the pot, then tear the mushroom into strips and sear them in butter or oil until golden. Treated that way they go into stir fries, broths, crab-cake style patties and pasta. Sealed in a dry cupboard the dried pieces keep for a year or more. Technique tip: squeeze the rehydrated pieces dry and give them room in a hot pan, since wet crowded mushrooms steam and stay spongy instead of browning.
