Hello,
I bought your kit to make mushroom noodles as seen in the secret of locust bean gum video. I was wondering if, instead of using 3.5 pounds of chopped mushrooms, one could simply re-hydrate dried mushrooms and use that liquid.

Thanks,

Peter

Yes, you could use the liquid from reconstituted dried mushrooms.

Yes, you will have to experiment with the ratios to figure out what works best for your recipe. Typical usage range is between 0.15% – 0.75%.
