Cooking Basics

Shiitake mushrooms - removing the stem

The stem can be easily removed by folding it over and pulling it off at the base, where it is attached to the cap. You can also cut it off from under the cap with a knife.

Shimeji mushrooms - cutting off the hard base

Many of the shimeji mushrooms available in stores have been cultivated in mushroom beds, causing the roots to be tighly squeezed together. To some the chaff is attached, so be sure to cut away this hard base before using.

Enoki mushrooms - removing the hard base

Taking out from the package before removing the hard base will result in the hard base falling apart all over the place. Cutting off the hard base while its still in the package is less messy and recommended. After doing so, take the part for use out of the remaining package. Some packages available on the market have a cutting line conveniently indicated on the package.
