Cooking Instructions
1.
Gently rinse the Dried Shiitake Mushrooms (1/2 cup) to remove the dust on the surface. Transfer into a bowl and cover with 2-inches Water (to taste). Soak until the mushrooms turn completely tender, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
2.
Rinse the mushrooms in the soaking water by gently rubbing the caps with your fingers. Squeeze out extra liquid and transfer the mushrooms to a cutting board. Let the mushroom-soaking water sit for 10 minutes. Slice the mushrooms into thin pieces.
3.
Heat Peanut Oil (2 Tbsp) in a medium size pan over medium heat until warm. Add shiitake mushrooms. Cook and stir until both sides turns golden, 3 to 5 minutes.
4.
Add finely grated Fresh Ginger (1 tsp) and finely minced Garlic (2 cloves). Cook and stir for another minute. Transfer everything into a food processor.
5.
Add 1 cup of the reserved mushroom-soaking liquid to the food processor. Puree until smooth. Return everything into the fry pan.
6.
Add Light Soy Sauce (1 Tbsp), Dark Soy Sauce (1 Tbsp), Miso Paste (2 tsp), Agave Syrup (1 tsp) and Chinese Five Spice Powder (1/4 tsp) in a small bowl. Whisk until the miso paste has dissolved completely. Pour into the frying pan and stir to mix well.
7.
Cook over low heat until the sauce is brought to a gentle simmer and is thick enough to coat a spoon. If the sauce turns too dry, add a few more spoons of the mushroom-soaking water.
8.
Remove the pan from stove, add Dark Toasted Sesame Oil (2 tsp), and stir to mix well. Transfer to a big bowl to cool.
9.
Once the sauce has cooled down completely, transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge for up for 1 week or in the freezer for 2 months.
