Shiitake mushrooms contain excellent source of nutrients. Attributing to the compounds contained in this mushroom, it is proved to be helpful in ailment treatment, treating and preventing cancer, heart disease, hypertension, infectious disease and hepatitis. Drop by here for more information.
In Chinese cuisine, usually dried shiitake mushroom is used. Nevertheless, fresh shiitake mushroom can be easily found in wet market and most of the hypermarkets. Therefore, I would love to give this delicacy a try.
This dish is similar to the earlier Vegetarian Golden Mushroom. However, the frying process is omitted, and carrot is added to bring out the color. Cooking the mushroom the banal way is the best method to retain the juiciness of the mushrooms. How could one resist the earthy, rich, moist and mushroomy flavors? If you're looking for something comfy, this is it!
