Yumm! The dish looks so amazing! Will try it sometime. Somehow, I've grown up loving mushrooms (doesn't matter whether it is Asian mushrooms or European mushrooms - makes no difference to me as each has its own unique taste). Some dishes can only be prepared with a particular mushroom to get that unique taste. A chef will certainly know the difference! But I've found Shitake mushrooms to be quite consistent in many Chinese dishes.
ReplyDeleteI have also posted another recipe using Shitake mushrooms. It is deep fried and vegetarian. If anyone is interested, do read it at http://www.holisticlivingannex.com/2012/04/shitake-delight.html
Keep it up! Waiting for more...
