Sautéed Shiitake Mushrooms Ingredients

Shiitake Mushrooms

The main ingredient in this recipe is the exotic shiitake mushrooms have been part of the diet in China, Japan, and Korea for thousands of years! Their medicinal and health benefits are proven, from boosting the immune system to fighting cancer. This special superfood became the Asian symbol for longevity since early times. Learn all about how Shiitake Mushrooms Are Full of Wonderful Health Benefits.

Garlic

Garlic adds a wonderful flavour to this Sautéed Shiitake Mushrooms recipe. To get the most health benefits from Garlic, let it sit for a minimum of 5 minutes, after cutting and before eating or cooking. Waiting for 5 – 10 minutes allows the health-promoting allicin to form. If you do not let it sit, allicin is never formed, so it is worth the wait. Add some garlic to your soups, stews, and salad dressing recipes to lower high cholesterol. Sometimes it is easier to use some Organic Freeze Dried Garlic so no chopping and peeling.

Sesame oil

Sesame oil may be the oldest condiment on earth. It has a strong taste, so I often use it in oriental dishes and certainly adds a good flavour to this sautéed shiitake mushroom recipe.

The smoke point ranges from 350 – 450°F
Light sesame oil has a high smoke point and is suitable for deep-frying, while dark sesame oil often used in Asian cuisine (from roasted sesame seeds) has a lower smoke point and is unsuitable for deep-frying but good for light stir frying, or for making an omelet.

It is revered in the Ayurvedic tradition as having potent medicinal powers. Learn more: 17 Benefits of Sesame Oil.
