How To
How to Cut Shiitake Mushrooms?
The shiitakes seem to be doing well. There's nothing wrong about them. They are fine. But how can we make them cut without hurting ourselves? We have tried every method, including using scissors. But they just keep slipping from our hands. Is there something wrong?
You have a trick. To make the mushroom stem stick out, wrap a rubber band around it and twist it tightly. That way, you won't slip and cut yourself.
You may think it sounds too easy. It is. It's also extremely effective.
The rubber band makes it slippery so that it feels natural when you pick up the stem. It doesn't hurt to keep the stem in place.
Try it now. It's so easy to chop mushrooms now.
