This video gives me exactly what I wanted. I'm kinda new to shiitake mushroom, let alone cooking it, so yeah, I just want to know if the stems needs to be off or not. So, this video provides me best answers. Thank you!
Stems from the mushroom are good to boil, to then simmer. Strain liquid to add as gravy flavor or soup. Taste savory umami flavor. You can also steam your vegetables in the mushroom water from your mushroom stems.
People tend to wipe them with a cloth or towel that is slightly damped to take off the dirt there are also brushes for that as well. I've also heard people rinse them really fast then leave them to dry for 30 I wouldn't want to do that besides it being time consuming it could easily absorb the water.

I've never seen shitake mushrooms that are so well formed like the bellas, No need to discard stems, waste not especially if for broth or stews.
Glad you liked it!

Great video going to use this tonight.
Thank you today first time trying to cook shitake mushroom was not sure how to clean your tips are so helpful Sir..oops do i need to wash it?
DO NOT remove the STEMS ! OMG what a waste and NO you are WRONG !! they ARE TASTY and plenty of vitamins INISDE the STEMS !
Do you have to wash them first?
This is the forth video I’ve been too. Nobody seems to mention it!
If you wash them they become mushy. Dust wipe with a dry dry paper towel. They attain very little dirty anyway.
Stems good for flavouring broth apparently??
Agreed
What type of knife is the one used in the video
No need to clean a shiitake. It doesn't grow in soil. I'd use the stems for soup or a compost pile.
Thank you!!
Can't mushroom be washed? I'm really wondering.
not cleaning them...
Ohh.. Alright, thank you! :D
I don't need a video to cut mushrooms, what about cleaning and cooking ?
may I take away the skin on the cap? it looks cleaner without the skin
Sure you may, but the most flavor is in the skin, just like with veggies.
This didn't give me what I wanted. I can cut them, then what? It's the cooking part that is the point.
the demonstration does not show actual shiitake mushrooms.
