I always have those packages of dried mushrooms that I pick up everytime I go to the Asian markets. They are mostly of the Shiitake variety.

I will usually bring them to a boil and and let them hydrate for a couple of hours then chop them up to put in various dishes.

After getting into the new book “Mastering Stocks and Broths” that I purchased, I decided to use the techniques in the book and get more serious with my mushrooms. Mushrooms are a very under rated nutritionally dense food. They provide so many nutrients with one of them being the only vegetable to contain vitamin D! (tip: place mushrooms in sunlight to produce more vitaminD).

My version of roasted mushroom stock uses an Instantpot to speed up the operation.

Notes

Roasted soup bones from pasture raised animals can also be added to create more of a bone broth.
If a more intense flavor is desired, this can be further reduced until until the correct concentration is developed.
Noodles in photo are shirataki (konjaku or sweet potato starch) noodles. Shirataki is gluten-free, high-fiber, calorie-free, low carb, and rich in prebiotics.
