Notes
- I recommend using a large pan that can retain the heat, such as a stainless steel or cast-iron skillet. I also suggest using a large skillet (10-12 inches) so that you'll have enough room to saute mushrooms without overcrowding the skillet.
- : Let the leftovers come to room temperature and then transfer
- them to an airtight container. You can store them in the refrigerator for up to four days.
- Yields: This recipe makes about 2 to 2 1/2 cups (packed) of cooked shiitake mushrooms, which is ideal for serving 4 as a side dish. The nutritional values below are per serving.
- Cast iron or stainless steel skillet for the best results: When making this recipe, I recommend using a large pan that can retain the heat, such as a stainless steel or cast-iron skillet. I also suggest using a large skillet (10-12 inches) so that you'll have enough room to saute mushrooms without overcrowding the skillet.
