Shiitake mushrooms are rich and savoury in taste. It also boosts immunity and support heart health.

This is suitable for babies above 8 months old. Can be added to baby food during or after cooking. Sometimes I also use it to marinate meat!

It is even easier to make mushroom powder than ikan bilis as soaking is not necessary.

Ingredients:

1 packet of dried shiitake mushroom

Steps:

1. Wipe the mushroom with a damp kitchen towel.

2. Dry in oven for 1 hour at 120-150 deg celsius. (You can dry at lower heat at longer duration)

3. Grind the mushroom into fine powder or the consistency you want. (I used thermomix turbo mode 2 seconds x 5)

4. Store in dry airtight container in fridge or freezer. As there is no salt or preservatives, best to consume within 3 months in fridge.

Have fun!
