Shiitake and Chicken Simmered is a very useful dish that can be arranged into various other dishes. It can be frozen in small portions as a stock braised dish for convenient use at any time!
Feel free to make lots of this to use in all kinds of dishes ahead of time. You can also chop the simmered Shiitake finely and add it to all standard daily dishes to boost their Umami! I had heard that stirring stewed, finely chopped Shiitake into an old favorite dish would take it to a whole new level of flavor, so I gave it a try. I was amazed by how good it was!
Combining Glutamate and Inosinate in the chicken and Guanylate in the dried Shiitake will always automatically create a synergy of great Umami taste.
