Ban chan: Seasoned shiitake mushrooms
22 Sep
This is a quick and easy recipe that I created while exploring some ban chan (side dish) ideas. I am a huge fan of shiitake mushrooms (stems and all) and wanted to lightly season it so that it can complement other dishes when served as a part of a meal.
At the last minute, I decided that this dish needed some more color. I quickly grabbed a piece of carrot. I washed and peeled it but the thought of julienning carrots was unappealing to me at the moment(lazy, I know). So I used a cheese grate to make little carrot pieces. Voila! Efficiency win!
And honestly, I would totally mix this in rice, sesame oil and some gochugaru, for a 5-minute meal when I’m by myself.
