Note
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave.
Substitutions: You can use fresh mushrooms instead of dried, but reduce the cooking time slightly as they release more moisture. Any variety of wild mushrooms works well, such as porcini or shiitake.
Tip: Reserve the mushroom soaking liquid to add depth to soups or gravies; strain it first to remove any grit.
Variations: Add a splash of soy sauce or tamari for extra umami, or stir in fresh herbs like parsley or thyme before serving.
