Soak 4 shiitake mushrooms in water for about 2 to 3 hours.
This is a stylish, tasty dish. The tender glutinous rice matches the squid, which has a nice, chewy texture and rich flavor. The squid is stuffed with a bowl of flavorful sweet rice and lightly blanched in oil before it is gently braised with some Chinese aromatics, honey soy, and garlic. The sauce is reduced, robust, and holds to the outside of the squid.
