Recipe
Ingredients
- Shimeji mushrooms
- Quick Lu Zhi (soy
- Mentsuyu
- cola
- five-spice etc.)
- Tube ginger
- Sesame oil
Instructions
- [Authentic & Quick Recipe]
- [Shimeji Umami Condensing Tech] Trim base of super's shimeji (
- pack), separate finely by hand. Put shimeji in un-oiled pan, 'dry-roast' on medium. Evaporate moisture until surface sweats slightly and unique mushroom savory smell arises. This extra step explosively boosts guanylic acid (umami) and drastically improves sauce absorption; a pro tech.
- [Aroma-raising Ultra-quick Lu Zhi] Boil cola, soy, Mentsuyu, tube ginger, five-spice in pot on high. Shimeji yields strong dashi, so simple soup is OK.
- [1-Min Short Heating] Toss dry-roasted shimeji in boiling soup, cook briefly on medium for just '
- min'. Over-simmering turns texture mushy and shrinks them, so turn off heat at exquisite timing retaining plump elasticity.
- [Finishing] Remove heat as is in soup, drizzle a little sesame oil to finish. Super excellent diet side optimal for bento gaps.
