Mushroom Soy Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 gallon soy sauce
1 lb dried shiitake mushroom (dehydrated )

Preparation

In a large pot bring the soy sauce just to the boiling point. Do not boil or reduce.
Add the pound of dehydrated shiitakes and let sit until the soy sauce has come down to room temperature.
Strain the soy sauce through folded cheese cloth.
Squeeze out as much soy sauce from the mushrooms as possible; using the cheese cloth makes this much easier.
