Buy Dried mushrooms, You'll thank you! Seriously! Fresh mushrooms have their place for sure, but overall dried are better, imo. Dried mushrooms have so many advantages over fresh that it feels like a no brainer.
What do you think? Are you going to be switching from mostly fresh mushrooms to dried?
Dried mushrooms need to be soaked before cooking, and you can eat them plain once rehydrated and cooked... but I like to add a bit of salt but really thats all thats needed because they are too good!
I use a bunch of dried mushrooms but let me show you which ones are the best!

How are you storing your mushrooms? My mushrooms last 2-3 months… I get them home open them up put them in a brown paper bag. Loosely roll the top closed . I keep them on 2nd shelf in my fridge. Only wash when ready to use . 🍄❤ 🍄
Ps I live in FL produce doesn’t last here if you don’t store things right.
I use dehydrated mushrooms all the time, they are a STAPLE in my pantry! While rehydrating I like to add just enough hot water to cover the mushrooms, and I like to add a few drops each of soy sauce, vegan worcestershire sauce, vegetable umami, and a little roasted garlic paste. I typically use these mushrooms with noodles, in omelets, or as part of a bento bowl. Always AHH-MAZING!!
Love that!! Adding more umami to the hydrating liquid makes a huge difference!!! Great ideas!! thank you
@@SauceStache How do you cook them so they're not so chewy?
I bet that remaining broth is delicious too. Thanks for the tips.
Flavor intensifies when mushrooms are dried. The ones with cracked caps, flower mushroom, have a sweet savory taste whereas the flatter ones with smooth caps, oak mushroom, have an earthier taste, and there are many other varieties. Good thing is that dried mushrooms rarely expire if kept in cool dry conditions and even fresh ones are easily air dried just by hanging them up by a string.
that Not Steak Sauce isn't missing an episode
hahah its good on everything!!!!
I am so happy for you to have lost the weight you did! I bet you feel so good now. Congratulations to you for giving yourself a better life.
Thank you so much!!
I grew up with my parents using dried shiitake mushrooms and yes there is so much more flavour in them and great for making broths/soups/sauces. I tend to barely buy fresh mushrooms now unless I use them right away or for texture/apperance reasons depending on recipe. I normally use canned cremini and mixed frozen for quick meals as they seem to be more convenient and lasts longer and easy to use, idk if it is cheaper but I won't end up throwing out mushrooms in the fridge I don't end up using. I should probably put my dehydrator into good use and just dry my own mushrooms when I see fresh on sale.
I'm always thankful for your recipes! Can't wait to try.
Thank you sooo much!!!
Just dropping a comment to say thank you for the entertainment, the recipies and all the cooking tips and tricks. I've learned a lot and have been intrigued by how crazy and fun you can go with some of the vegan stuff which i used to think was boring food. Been watching your channel for a couple of years on and off but never subsribed till recently, also i loved your fitness journey from a fuzzy papa bear to lean mean cooking machine. Your videos have become a part of sunshine in my life and i mean it. Lots of love and keep doing because you are doing great❤❤❤❤❤❤
If I want fresh mushrooms for something, I buy them frozen, though I'd rather have dry mushrooms than fresh overall. Home-dried ones are also excellent. I also use mushroom seasoning powder instead of bouillon in just about anything savory. I wish I'd known about it all sooner!
They are an essential in my pantry! Love them, and there are so many varieties at the local Viet Hoa Market.
They are super essential
That before & after pic was fn awesome 👏👏 Good for you
Thanks, im going to try them, because im tired of my mushrooms going bad so fast.
mushrooms are so expensive out here that I was gonna try growing my own, but now I'll just go with dried :)
Dude it's wild how expensive some fresh types are! Lions mane being a big one. Growing shrooms is fun, Ive done it a bunch and I have a mushroom grow chamber I need to get setup when I find the space... but I think for day to day use buying dried is just more economical. Price and life expectancy
Monica...... I'm jealous! I wish my hubby fed me such nutritious and delicious food! I'll just have to make it for him. Lol Can't wait to try this one!
Think how proud and happy you will make your hubby... 😊
POWER knowledge as always
Thank you!!
Want to try my sauce for pasta? I just put tomato sauce with garlic and spinach. A lot of spinach then paprika. Then I put some hot chili peppers flakes oregano and tahini when I mix the pasta in the pan. The best is with spaghetti or linguine (bucatini is the max but they are hard to find it). It's so creamy and hot... Believe me I'm Italian I know pasta 😋
I throw dehydrated mushrooms in my blender, turn them into a powder, and add them to sauces.
I am the chef de cuisine at a restaurant and we do stuffed mushrooms and i INSIST we use dehydrated shiitakes!
We rehydrate over night in the fridge in cold water! Its less laborious (albeit boiling water isnt difficult but it also just makes knowing when theyre done easy)
Then we trim all the stems and cut them up very small and mix them with cheddar, mozzarella, cream cheese, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper and stuff the mushrooms with it!
We also smoke bison once a week and make tacos with it for the rest of the week and when we get an order we put bulgogi marinaded bison into a pan with some oil, quick sear, then a splash of that umami loaded mushroom water to moisten it up and let it moisten up and soak up that delicious mushroom flavor!
Boom!! Yeah overnight in the fridge is great and I bet that stock you're left with is amazing!! it can be used for so many different uses!!
@@SauceStache in the winter we have a bison wild rice soup and veggie version with mushroom stock! Even for the bison soup we boil the bones and reduce down WAY more than you would normally and then it's 2 cups of bison stock "concentrate" with 8 cups of mushroom stock and then we add all the solids and stuff in. We use it a lot!
I buy the mushrooms in the bulk bins. I look for the wrinkled, drier ones. Because they weigh less...... I get more per pound than the ones in the package. Those are usually wet and gross. It’s easy to slice them, toss onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment and dry them myself. A food dehydrator runs too warm (at leat mine does).
Yes I have lots of dried, all kinds of them. I have three Chinese groceries where I live in North Miami Beach
I stock up on fresh mushrooms when they are on sale at my local restaurant supply place and dehydrate them myself...WAY cheaper than paying the outrageous prices for the already dried ones.
Wow dude you look great, oh yeah and thanks for the tip.
You need to investigate puff ball mushrooms.
Congrats on the healthy lifestyle! So happy for you!
To compare the value of dry to the fresh mushrooms Google the water content of fresh mushrooms and times the weight of the fresh mushrooms you are looking at by the percentage of the mushroom that is not the water then you have the weight equavilant in dry to fresh.
If I blended dried shiitakes into a powder, would that work similar to the mushroom powder you love using in your videos?
I totally agree. The only one I don’t like much is dehydrated lions mane. However, it’s almost impossible to find fresh lion’s mane. So there you have it. 🤷♀️
Fellow Orlandoan here. I go to that Asian grocery store that you got those mushrooms from all the time (try the Lay’s numb & spicy hot pot potato chips)!
I imagine a mushroom pureé... So flavorful!
Initial thought: well, that's a little cilckbaity... but I actually agree :D
You can easily rehydrate them and use in pretty much ANY dish you'd use fresh mushrooms. They have so much more flavor and a much meatier texture. In Poland, where we forage a ton of mushrooms the most common way to store them is drying and they are truly an umami packed staple :D
But it doesn't beat home grown mushroom (did it years ago and stopped because you can get too much to handle by yourself) dried mushrooms I usually reconstitute frying them with broccoli, onions, cauliflower, bell peppers and some tofu. Sauce is soy sauce and oyster sauce.
All of this is good! yes, homegrown is pretty awesome because you can harvest when needed... but you also need to be ready to harvest when they are good to go, I do think you get a few more days outa a fresh shrrom than a store bought shroom!!
I didn’t know people actually buy fresh mushrooms. It’s just logic to me. Where I live, my local asian market shiitake mushroom is 5€/kg, while the dried mushrooms is only 2€/kg, it’s way better. I used to hate mushrooms because of the fresh mushrooms, with their plastic-ish texture. The dry ones are easy to cook, and fast to flavor. The only mushrooms I buy fresh is a small white mushroom, tried dry for them and they’re horrible
Love mushrooms. Just saw a video of a mushroom from Mexico that it’s said tastes like eggs. 🥚 Mushrooms are amazing.
Ohhhh I would be interested in what mushroom that is!!! I need to find this video haha
Good looking dish! I wouldn't be able to resit adding a small dribble of sesame oil to the recipe 😊
Ohhhhh totally a good idea!!! Sesame oil would be a really nice touch!!
I always buy shiitake that way... but I've never seen other kinds dried. Maybe I didn't really look. Sometimes the taste of shiitake is a bit intense. I love them to death but in some dishes it overwhelms the other ingredients which is why I don't use them for everything.
It's the best way!!! It's really wild you can find a lot of different shrooms dried online! Shitakes can be very powerful, try to find dried lions mane they are out of this world good!
@@SauceStachewhat do you make with dried lions mane?? I can’t find fresh in the Netherlands.. thanks for your response. 😊
@@SauceStacheI'm not sure I know the lions mane but I need to investigate this.
Last year , I opened dried mushrooms "best before 1998/9 , who where in pharaonic sleep in my attic.
I'm still alive, and they were just fine ...
Do you think it's better to buy organic mushrooms?
That's the down point for me when shopping at Asian supermarkets. Normally, when I buy fruits and veg, I choose organic 95 % of the time. But things like those dried mushrooms usually aren't. They're delicious though. 🥲
Buying them dry and then boiling seems contradictory?
GOOD AFTERNOON SAUCYMAN!
Dried mushrooms are just too rich for our blood lol. Unfortunately we don't have any asian markets around. Lots of hispanic stuff, but no asian.
GOOOOD Afternoon Christopher!!!! Have you looked online? A lot of times you can find them for the same inexpensive prices online! They tend to be cheaper than fresh.. just a thought!
MY MAAAAAN!!!
MY MAAAAANNN!!!!! Thanks for always showing up!!
@@SauceStache always my man 🙃❤️
I tried dried shiitake mushrooms one time that I bought from Amazon. It was a popular brand that I won't name. They smelled really bad. I tried to re-hydrate them anyway according to directions. They smelled like gasoline and I threw them out. I never wanted to try dried mushrooms again. I would try again if I knew they would be good.
its not better but it has its uses. Like Dried Shitake are the best for everything. But there is one dish my mom makes with fresh shittake its fast cooked and I don't how it still just melts in your mouth. She has not been able to get that texture from dried Shittake no matter how much she tried.
The worst part in my country they are selling dried mushrooms at exhorbitant rate. Its like they are trying to get the same profit margin they get per ounce on fresh mushrooms with the dried mushrooms too.
You never linked that video
OMG thank you so much for catching this!!! Doing it now
I didn't even know these existed
Dried mushooms are cheaper even in ASIA. Which is suck because I actually like fresh mushrooms.
Save the water you rehydrate them in as it makes a great broth base
Do Americans use "pasta" and "noodles" interchangeably?
Kitchen scissors work great on mushrooms...
If you take the plastic wrapping off of your mushrooms they will last for up to two weeks or longer
absolutely... but 2 weeks does seem like a long stretch? I've gotten a weak outa them in a brown paper bag, but they start to show signs of going bad quickly after that... for me at least!
Man I don't want to bother you but have you thought about making a video of your physical change in the last few years? You look much better and surely in your day to day you notice it too. greetings
Damn that's a lot of chili oil
No soaked pasta? That's how I found you. I'd think soaking the pasta in the mushroom liquid would really amp it up.
ahhh you know that would have been a pretty great idea!!!
I feel like the asian mushrooms are loaded with heavy metals
Cordyceps?? No thanks, I’ve played and seen The Last of Us.
hahaha
Wait a minute, did you say cordyceps? Like in The Last of Us?! 😱
haha yes! Last of us is based off a real mushroom... but that mushroom doesn't actually work the way the game/show explains it
Explains why I suddenly go blind and roam around making clicking sounds every time I had some mushroom pasta. 🤭
@@Eskapismus
I knew it! That means Mark must be immune. 😂
Dried mushrooms have a deeper flavour, fresh mushrooms have better texture.
👍👍👍👍👍🍄
Right??!
@SauceStache I'm definitely going to have to try that! Thank you for the info and awesome videos that you share 😁
❤
no, no and no!
🤩🤩🤩
where do you buy your mushrooms online?
I want to do vegan food review videos for TH-cam when I do can I get a shout out
you look so different
I wonder which has biggest carbon footprint, overall? You are cooking dried mushrooms twice, if you count the drying ... but once you've dried them, you arn't spending energy shipping the water contained in the mushrooms around .... versus fresh has a distribution chain with climate control etc but you only cook them once...
Thats a great question!! I dont know personally. Hopefully someone here might have a little more info!
Doesn't it say on the package of just about every dried mushroom that you should throw out all the liquid you cooked the mushrooms in?
Absolutely not!! Using dried mushrooms to create broth or stock is a very common thing and it's incredibly good broth! I have never seen this on a mushroom packaging, usually if there is any instructions it would be the opposite!
I rehydrate my dried mushrooms with my instant pot, not only does it do a great job but you have mushroom stock when you're done and the mushrooms are delicious.
Love that!!! what a great idea!!
I love dried mushrooms!! Yess! Such a great pantry staple!
They are sooooo good!!! It's so easy to hydrate and you can always have them around!!
We use both since the flavor difference makes each better for different dishes 🙂
Congrats on the healthy lifestyle and the weigh loss my man!!!! So proud and we all cheering for you 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much!!!! I appreciate the encouragement!!
I’ve had dried seasoned mushrooms sold as a snack food, but have yet to try buying them dried as an ingredient. Very much appreciate you pointing out the benefits.
Okay after all this information start giving us recipes with dried mushrooms😅
hahah for sure!!! You'll see a lot more coming soon!
It's a pleasant Friday when sauce uploads!
hahah thank you!!!
The "shiitake" mushroom, is our culturally appropriated Chinese "doong gu".
Yes, our dried doong gu is FAR more aromatic that the fresh ones; which is why we Chinese NEVER use the bland, fresh variety.
You look Awesome ❤ Thank you for all the videos and education over the years ❤
Thank you soooo much!!! Means a lot!!
Well done for your weght loss and increased subscriptions
Thank you too much!!!
Dude I haven't watched you in like a year and boy you look amazing! Keep it up!
Welcome back!!!! Thank you so much!!
They’re dehydrated?
Thank you!!
When I get fresh mushrooms I am trying to accumulate and dry the stems in the oven, and i break them up to dry faster. Which has led me to a conclusion:
we know king oyster mushrooms make for great pulled-pork kind of dishes. But I think buying a tonne of them, breaking them up by hand along the fibres, and drying them with salt would be amaaaazing to cook with. I dry mushrooms on a low heat in the oven and not sure if that makes them even tastier with a bit of browning. If this has been done already i need to find it.
So dried mushrooms for sure have a LOT more flavor! Its the precooking as you said that really does it.
I dont think anyone has done that specific technique and it sounds amazing. I should try it!!
@@SauceStache I'm probably going to my local h-mart this weekend to buy loads of king oyster and will try, will post an update here
Good
Thanks
Great sharing best wait loss recipe
Stache, you look thinner.
Thank you!! I've lost around 90 pounds! Lots of work, Noom, intermittent fasting, running and yoga! its been a journey!
Thank you!!
Looking good Sauce Stache. You've lost loads of weight.
How about making some Mushroom Ketchup with the dried ones 🤔
I wish I found this video earlier. I had the hardest time finding lions mane and oyster mushrooms
Are they dried like jerky or hard as a rock? I'm thinking you could bring them into a powder for other uses? 🤔
They are pretty hard... not rock like, but almost like if you dry a sponge 100%... but more dense. You could totally powder them for other uses... ive done it in the past to make umami seasoning
Makes me think of shaved truffles now. 🤤
I use a high speed blender to turn dried shiitake into powder, I use it in my homemade instant ramen soup seasoning. store dry, preferrably mixed in with salt for longer shelf life.
JUST GROW YOUR OWN MUSHROOMS IT TAKES NO ROOM DUH
6:06 walter white vibes
Too soon bro, too soon…
hahah what do you mean?
@@SauceStache here in Australia a lady wiped out her in laws by serving them death cap mushrooms. It’s been all over the news here lol. P.s I love your channel ☺️
…she dried them too to make them more potent..
A good way is to also grow them at home
🙏😎🏆
I kinda asked Derek Sarno this but I challenge you to make okonomiyaki with a vegan katsuobushi... or just the katsuobushi... no pressure =D love your stuff
I forage for mushrooms and usually dry most of them.
One of my favorite dried flavors for mushrooms are puffballs.
Ahhh I need to find and try puffball!!! I still haven't tried one!
@@SauceStache I'm in BC. I find them in Autumn in big clusters. Need to get them young when flesh is still solid. When you cut through, it must be solid white. No signs of gills or other structures and not black, otherwise you might be looking at poisonous Amanitas or poisonous earthballs. Actually not difficult to distinguish at all.
They tend to grow on dieing tree roots. Often city maintained grassy areas around trees. I think they are a fairly universal fungus and can be found in lots of places.
Good hunting. Plant based...my favorite kind of hunting.
Wait a minute!!!! Where are you that you have BOTH Wegs & Pubs stores?!!!!!
I miss Publix… but GAWD!! I miss Wegs!!
I've got them in my pantry!!!!! 😍
Boom!!! nice!!
😸@@SauceStache
I bought a package like a year ago because they were cheep, but I think I prepared them wrong. I did a lot of what SS did, but I rehydrated overnight (then barely cooked them) and I used the broth undiluted for pasta water... I did not enjoy the experience and it upset my stomach.
I think this is a good chance to try them again and just don't go overboard with the broth and actually cook the mushrooms (Frying them).
Sometimes I'll sauteed mushrooms in a vegan garlic butter with pepper then add to my burgers. The meaty texture adds extra flavor and weight to it!
The fresh organic Baby Bella mushrooms that I get at Wegmans last at least a week. Baby Bella mushrooms last much longer than white mushrooms, even though they are apparently the same mushroom, but just picked at different ages.
Baby Bella mushrooms are small Portabella mushrooms and not the same as the white ones.
My Publix SUCKS when it comes to mushrooms! White button or portobello. That's IT!
exactly!! its all the same mushroom!!!!
Publix?
It's a grocery chain
Thanks to your videos, I made my first batch of Tofu (fingers). I used soy sauce, sesame oil, olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and maple syrup. I let them marinate overnight, coated them in Panko and Air Fried them for 15 min on each side. They were so crunchy. I pressed the tofu and made sure it was dry, but the marinade didn't seem to get soaked in. I guess I should have added some water. But they are good!!! The next one I'm doing is marinating in chicken broth.
Thats awesome!!!! So with tofu its really hard to get marinade to really soak in, thats why its really important to flavor whatever the coating is going to be the most... like if its a sauce coating, make it a really sticky sauce so you get a nice outside layer, if you are frying it make sure to do like a super flavorful wet batter on the outside before adding a crispy layer over it!! That really helps to boost the marinade flavor!!
@@SauceStacheThank you so much! I will remember this.
Why chicken broth😭🤦♂️
