Shimmered Shiitake Mushroom are great as a side or served with rice and noodles. Dried Shiitake mushroom are soaked in water for several hours (over night is usually better) then cooked in Soya Sauce, Sea weed stock, Sake (Japanese rice wine) and Mirin (sweeteners).
I decided to make this last night as I’ve been thinking about what to put as an alternative topping for Okonomiyaki. Okonomiyaki is a savory Japanese pancakes and it usually has bacon or sea food. We have tried putting in thin slices of aubergine and it was nice but it lacked flavour and texture.
I can’t wait to try it on Okonomiyaki! I’m going to try putting bamboo shoots and sea weed for more texture and crispiness.
