Point

Shiitake and citrus fruits are an unexpectedly good match! Enjoy the crisp and refreshing flavor. For the fruit juice, use the amount that’s released when you cut the fruit and what you can squeeze out from the peel after cutting.

Dried Shiitake mushrooms should be rehydrated in cold water to make them sweeter and tastier without any messy taste.
