Cooking tips

  • If you stir-fry the mushrooms first, they will absorb all the soy sauce and become overly salty—instead, start with onions and peppers to release moisture and oil, which helps balance the seasoning.
  • Shiitake mushrooms absorb a lot of water, so avoid soaking them for too long; simply wipe them with a damp cloth or rinse quickly under running water.
  • Cooking over medium-low heat allows the mushrooms' moisture to be retained, resulting in a firm, chewy, and satisfying texture similar to meat.

Recommended for

  • Those looking to use up leftover shiitake mushrooms and surimi in a delicious way.
  • People who want a light side dish with a meat-like taste and texture without using meat.
  • Families seeking a savory-sweet, mildly spicy side dish that’s enjoyable for everyone.
