REISHI DRIED MUSHROOMS UK

Dried REISHI is a culinary ingredient prized by home cooks and chefs alike. Drying concentrates the flavour of REISHI and gives it a long shelf life, so a small handful goes a long way in the kitchen. Dried REISHI brings a depth of flavour that fresh mushrooms cannot match.

This guide covers what dried REISHI is, how to cook with it, how to rehydrate it and how to store it for the long term.

What Dried REISHI Is

Dried REISHI is simply fresh REISHI that has had its moisture removed, which concentrates both the flavour and the aroma. As a member of the edible mushroom family, REISHI is valued in kitchens worldwide. Once dried, REISHI keeps for months in the cupboard, ready whenever you need it.

Culinary Uses

Dried REISHI is a kitchen workhorse. It lifts risottos, pasta sauces, soups, stocks, stews and stir fries, adding a savoury depth that is hard to achieve any other way. REISHI pairs beautifully with garlic, butter, cream and fresh herbs. It is a staple in kitchens across the world for good reason.

Flavour and Texture

REISHI is known for a rich, savoury, earthy flavour, and drying only intensifies it. Once rehydrated, REISHI takes on a pleasingly meaty, tender texture that holds up well in cooking. It brings genuine body to vegetarian and vegan dishes.

How to Rehydrate and Cook

To rehydrate dried REISHI, cover it in warm water and leave it to soak for around twenty to thirty minutes until soft. Lift the pieces out, saving the flavourful soaking liquid to add back to your dish, then chop and cook as you would fresh REISHI. REISHI can also be added straight to slow cooked soups and stews.

Storage

Keep dried REISHI in an airtight container somewhere cool, dark and dry. Moisture is the only real enemy of dried REISHI. There is no need to refrigerate dried REISHI while it remains dry.

How to Spot Quality

Good dried REISHI has a strong, clean aroma, an even colour and pieces that are fully dry without being dusty. Avoid any REISHI that smells musty or shows signs of moisture. Everything we stock is selected for culinary grade quality and carefully dried to preserve flavour.
