Preparing the Shiitake Mushrooms

Instructions

Soak mushrooms in a large bowl of boiling water for 30 minutes, or until rehydrated.

Drain the mushrooms, squeeze out excess water, then slice.

Heat 2 tsp oil in a skillet over medium high heat and cook the mushrooms for 2 minutes.

Add 1.5 tsp soy sauce, 1/4 tsp sugar, and 1/2 tsp of garlic. Stir for 1 minute, then remove from the skillet.

Preparing the Carrot and Zucchini

Notes: The initial salting is optional. It seasons the vegetables thoroughly, but you can skip it and just salt them during cooking.

2 zucchini, large, cut into 5 x 0.5cm/2 x 1/5″ batons

1/2 tsp salt

4 tsp vegetable oil, separated

Instructions

Optional: Place carrot and zucchini in separate bowls, sprinkle each with 1/4 tsp salt, toss, and leave for 20 minutes, then drain excess liquid.

Heat 2 tsp oil in a skillet and cook the carrot until just tender, about 5 to 8 minutes, then remove.

In the same skillet, add another 2 tsp oil and cook the zucchini for about 4 minutes, then remove.

Preparing the Spinach

Instructions

Heat 2 tsp vegetable oil with a splash of sesame oil in a skillet.

Sauté the spinach until it begins to wilt.

Add 1/2 tsp garlic and salt to taste, stir, then remove from the skillet.

When cool enough to handle, squeeze to drain out any excess liquid.
