Cooking Basics

Shiitake mushrooms - removing the hard base

The hard base, called "ishizuki" in Japanese, is the blackish tip at the end of the stem. Use a knife to cut or scrape off this portion.

Japanese long onion - thinly sliced

Remove the roots of the Japanese long onion. Then thinly slice up diagonally from end to end.
