Servings:
2
Ingredients:
1 cup dried Shiitake
1/4 cup sake
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tbsp. light brown sugar
2 chopped green onions
a few drops (roasted) sesame oil
Procedure:
Reconstitute 1 cup dried Shiitake by covering with hot water and let stand till
caps are completely soft. (Or cover with cold water, microwave on high for 2
minutes and let stand.) Cut off and discard stems. Squeeze excess liquid from
caps and slice into 1/4 inch pieces. Place pieces in saucepan with 1/4 cup sake,
1/4 cup soy, and 2 tbsp. light brown sugar. Bring to boil and simmer, uncovered,
till liquid is almost evaporated, tossing mushrooms occasionally. Remove from
heat, cool, and chill. Sprinkle with finely chopped green onions and a few drops
of dark (roasted) sesame oil. Serve as appetizer, side dish, or over rice.
