Pearl River Bridge Shiitake Mushrooms - 1KG
Pearl River Bridge Dried Shiitake Mushrooms is a 1KG pack of premium whole dried shiitake mushrooms from Pearl River Bridge — China's iconic condiment and dried-ingredient brand, founded in 1958 in Guangzhou and one of the most trusted names in Chinese specialty foods worldwide. Dried shiitake (椎茄 / 冬菇) deliver the deep, meaty, umami-rich flavour that's the foundational element of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean cuisine — from stir-fries and braised dishes to dashi stock, vegetarian soups, and dim sum stuffings. Dried mushrooms develop a far more concentrated flavour than fresh, and rehydrate to a tender chewy texture perfect for slow-cooked applications. The 1KG pack is the foodservice and serious-home-kitchen size for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean restaurants across the UAE.
