2. After soaking the shiitake mushrooms in water, scrape off the mud and impurities on the surface of the shiitake mushrooms with your fingers, cut off the stems and rinse them, put them in a dish, add wine, salt, MSG and the original soup (the filtered water used to soak the shiitake mushrooms), steam them for 30 minutes and take them out for later use.

Mushroom Chicken Soup
