Shiitake Sour Cream Sauce
Great as a sauce for sautéed pork or meuniere! Dried Shiitake are great to use in sauces because they make the umami of the meat much richer. Have you ever used sour cream? It is made by fermenting fresh cream with lactic acid bacteria and is often used in sweets. When you combine it with Shiitake, you get a ridiculously delicious sauce!
Add white wine, sour cream, and a little soup stock to the Shiitake broth, bring to a boil, and simmer until thickened, and you have a special sour cream sauce. Pour this sauce over the meat, and you will have the taste of a top restaurant.
