The shiitake tree mushroom is considered by the Japanese to be the king mushroom. One of its names is the emperor mushroom, or the mushroom of the sleeping Buddha. This is the most amazing mushroom, which in its healing properties was equated to ginseng.

Instructions
Step 1
Shiitake can be added to soups, you can also marinade meat, steam mushrooms, or simply fry. The preparation of the mushrooms depends on the form in which they were purchased.
If the mushrooms are fresh, then before cooking, the mushrooms are cleaned of soil and dirt. It is preferable not to wash the mushrooms, but to wipe with a damp cloth. Then you need to separate the legs (due to their density, they are not used in all dishes). If the mushrooms are cooked as a whole, then a cross-shaped incision is made on the cap for decorative purposes.
Step 2
If the shiitake is dry, it should be soaked in warm water for 2-3 hours or overnight. After that, you need to remove the mushrooms from the water and squeeze gently. Then the caps need to be cut into slices. From the water in which the mushrooms have been soaked, you can cook soup or add it when stewing dishes.
Step 3
After the mushrooms are prepared, we begin to prepare the spicy soup.
You need to bring the chicken broth to a boil, and at this time you need to cut the Chinese cabbage and hot chili into strips (remove the seeds from the pepper first).
Step 4
Then put chopped cabbage and peppers into the boiling broth. After boiling for 3-4 minutes, add chopped shiitake mushrooms and noodles.
Step 5
After that, you need to reduce the heat and cook the soup until the noodles are cooked. At this time, a raw egg is beaten in a separate bowl, and then poured into the soup, stirring continuously. After this, the soup is removed from the heat. The soup is ready. When serving, the soup can be sprinkled with herbs.
