Pickled Wild Mushrooms

My love of all things pickled seems to have no boundaries. From the tame kosher dills to the more wild spicy asparagus. But i recently came across an accompaniment to a steak on a menu that intrigued me. Pickled Mushrooms. It was an Asian inspired recipe that included fresh shiitake mushrooms along with a very savory soy sauce based marinade. It paired perfectly with the aged rib eye they were served alongside.

I was inspired to place some of my dried wild mushrooms into service and give this technique a try. After some tweaking and experimentation I think I have found the perfect balance of salty, sour and umami all in concert with one another.
