This Asian inspired dish is a delight to the taste buds, I had foraged this beautiful fungus from a favorite mushroom location near my home in Lumby BC. Once I had hand-selected the perfect one it was time to bring it home and start to prepare lunch. This is an easy recipe to master and can be adapted to many dishes, I enjoy it with a topping of roasted sesame seeds.
