DESCRIPTION
Thick and chewy, it can be used for various dishes from boiled food to fried food. The dried bamboo shoot is more rich in flavor and aroma than raw bamboo shoots, so it is very suitable for removing dashi. It can also be said that it is thicker and chewy than raw shiitake mushrooms. The umami of dried bamboo shoots is due to guanilic acid, an amino acid such as glutamic acid and a peculiar ingredient. Glutamic acid has an interesting property and does not exist much when cooked, both raw and dry, but cooking the umami ingredients increases by cooking. In addition, dried mushrooms increase glutamic acid due to the action of oxygen while preserving, so the synergistic effect with guanilic acid makes it even more delicious than raw shiitake mushrooms.
