Place the dried shiitake mushrooms in a heatproof bowl and pour the 2 cups of boiling water over them. Let steep for 20 minutes, until the mushrooms are fully softened and the liquid is deep brown. Lift the mushrooms out and roughly chop them; reserve the soaking liquid, pouring it carefully to leave any grit behind in the bowl.
