Soak dried mushrooms in 1 cup of warm water until softened, swishing around occasionally to dislodge any sand. Using a slotted spoon, lift the mushrooms out of the soaking liquid. Strain the soaking liquid through a paper coffee filter to remove any sand and reserve the liquid. Slice the porcini mushrooms thinly and set aside.
