Andrew Weil'S Shiitake Teriyaki
- 1 cup dried shiitake mushroom
- 1/4 cup sake
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 2 chopped green onions
- 3 drops roasted sesame oil
- 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.
