Dried Oyster Mushrooms 1 lb.

Add rich umami flavor to your gourmet soups, sauces, and stir fries with these dried oyster mushrooms! Oyster mushrooms feature a light earthy and woody flavor that's reminiscent of its sea dwelling namesake and a delicate texture that allows you to use them in dishes without rehydrating them first. In spite of their depth of flavor, oyster mushrooms have a mild taste, so they're best prepared in simple dishes where their exciting taste can take center stage. Best of all, these dried oyster mushrooms have a richer, more concentrated flavor than fresh oyster mushrooms, bringing a burst of umami richness to any recipe they're used in. Plus, when stored in an airtight container or under refrigeration, these mushrooms can keep for months or even years, unlike fresh oyster mushrooms, which spoil quickly. If you are rehydrating these dried oyster mushrooms, gently rinse them with tap water to remove any impurities, then add them to a bowl and cover them with warm water. Allow the mushrooms to rehydrate in the warm water until they are soft and springy, approximately 20 minutes. Once they are fully rehydrated, give these mushrooms a squeeze to remove the excess water, then use as desired!
