Seven Ways to Cook With Shiitake Mushrooms Tonight
Seven Ways to Cook With Shiitake Mushrooms Tonight I'm a massive fan of cooking with shiitake mushrooms, and I love the versatility they offer. Whether you want to use them as a meat alternative or give your dish an earthy punch, there's a variety of ways to cook with this fungus that will suit your needs. In today's recipe, we're going for a traditional Chinese take on the green bean stir fry--a dish that can be eaten as is or served as an appetizer alongside some dumplings. In this take on the classic, I've added some shiitake mushrooms because their flavor compliments green beans well. I first grabbed a wok out and let it heat up over medium-high heat before adding some oil. This is a great way to get the oil and pan to heat up evenly. The mushrooms themselves have an incredibly earthy aroma that is hard to describe, but you'll know it when you smell them. This dish will take a few minutes before it's done, but the wait is worth it. Sh
