Prepare the vegetables
First, blanch the shiitake mushrooms in boiling water for 5 – 7 minutes to allow them to expand and become clean. After that, remove the mushrooms, rinse them with cold water, cut off the stem, and slice the caps in half.
How to properly soak shiitake mushrooms
- Soak the mushrooms in cold water for about 1 hour, gently squeezing them to remove any musty smell and dirt. Then, take them out, rinse with clean water, squeeze out the excess water, and let them drain.
- You can also soak the mushrooms in hot water to save time. When the mushrooms have expanded, transfer them to a bowl of cold water, gently squeeze out the excess water, rinse again, and let them drain.
Peel the carrots, wash them clean, shape them into flowers (if desired), and then cut them into bite-sized slices.
Wash the bok choy, remove any bad leaves, and cut them in half.
Next, briefly blanch the carrots and bok choy in boiling water and remove them to cool.
Tip: Do not over-blanch the carrots and bok choy.
