Do you eat them plain? Doesn't sound

too appealing.

tip for satiety - Shiitakes

Another very filling and satisfying food are the dried

shiitakes I buy in

the Chinese market. After soaking in water,

and they become soft and in an

edible state, I find these to be very

" meaty " and filling. Shiitakes also

have lots of health benefits as well; they contain

lentinan (a cancer

fighting substance) and a form of Vit D (one of

only a few veggies that

contain D)

Dennis (in his usual very verbose style :-))) wants to know how I eat my

shiitakes. In this instance, today, I put them into my Sweet and Sour

Cabbage Soup recipe (in the files). I try to put the shiitakes into " wet "

type recipes where they plump up in the cooking of the dish. This saves a

step or two. I put them in soups, stews, tomato sauces, and the like. Same

with sheets of dried nori (seaweed), another very nutritious food, also

highly recommended by Walford.

That sounds a whole lot better. I

had this image of a bowl of slippery shitakes!
