Notes

Feel free to swap dried shiitake mushrooms for fresh varieties or use coconut aminos instead of liquid aminos for a soy-free alternative. Adding chopped garlic or a splash of chili sauce can infuse layers of flavor and spice that suit your taste. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days and gently reheat to restore moisture.
