Yes, you can.For bibimbap, you can use either dried shiitake mushrooms or fresh mushrooms. I have never used canned shiitake mushrooms, but I am sure it will be ok. Good luck with making delicious bibimbap!

i bought shitake mushroom in can, can i use it for bibimbap, instead of the dried one?

well, if not i’d better look for dried shitake mushrooms then.
i will have to postpone making the bibimbap for now *drooling* :D

i don’t want to try it, until im really sure. i don’t want to end up like Sandy, not liking shitake mushroom :)

thank you Maangchi for this recipe

What kind of dish are you going to make? It depends on what you make. If you like to make delicious stock, you must use dried shiitake mushrooms and if you like to make stir-fried japchae, you could use either dried shiitake mushrooms or fresh mushrooms.

I always keep a bowl of water in my fridge with some dried shi-take mushrooms in it, so i can use it right away any time i want. and they are really soft when i use them, including the stem.

mattlai,
Did you boil them more than 10 minutes by following my recipe?
Anyway, some dried shitake mushrooms are too dried out to get soft. You may have to soak the dried shitake mushrooms in warm water for a few hours before using them.

i just made some soon du bu and all was delicious but one thing. The shiitake mushrooms. My question for this ingriedient should they be really chewy and hard after boiling so long and saute with the red pepper flakes.? how should shiitake be with any dish. i really wanted to have a full experience with the soon du bu. But i had to take out the shiitake they were too hard.!!!!

Next time i will succeed.... hopefully.
