How To

How to Cut Shiitake Mushrooms

The shiitakes grow well. There is nothing wrong with them. But how do they be cut? We tried everything. Even scissors. But they keep falling out our hands. Is there something wrong?

It's possible to do this by using a trick. To make the mushroom stem stick out, wrap a rubber band around it and twist it tightly. By doing this, you won’t slip and get cut.

You may be thinking that this seems too easy. It is. It's also extremely effective.

The rubber band makes the stem slippery, so it feels natural when you pick it up. It's a good idea to secure the stem.

Now, go ahead and try it. It's so easy to chop mushrooms now.
