Sauteed Shiitake Mushrooms:

* 2 tablespoons olive oil

* 3/4 cup sliced shittake mushrooms

* 1 tablespoon sesame oil

* 2 tablespoons light soy sauce

* 2 tablespoon sake

* 4 lemons, zested and juiced

Prep Time: 20 min

Cooking Time: 30 min

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Cut 4 large squares of heavy aluminum foil large enough to hold 1 flounder fillet and one-quarter of the vegetables. Lightly put margerine one side of each and set on a work surface.

Lay the fish flat in a baking dish. In a bowl, whisk together the sake, light soy sauce, lime juice, ginger, sesame oil, honey, and black sesame seeds. Pour over the fish and let marinate for up to 45 minutes. Arrange 1 fish fillet on each sheet of aluminum foil and top with one-quarter of the shiitake mushrooms, leeks, carrots, red peppers, and marinade. Wrap tightly and place on a baking sheet. Bake until the fish is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and unwrap each package. Transfer the fish and vegetables to 4 large plates and top with the cooking juices. Serve with Sauteed Shiitakes and hot steamed rice.

Sauteed Shiitake Mushrooms:

Place a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and heat. When the oil is hot, add the mushrooms and saute until they begin to give up their liquid, about 5 minutes. Add the sesame oil, light soy sauce, sake, and lemon juice and zest and cook for 3 minutes.


Shiitake Matchsticks

Shiitakes, like other mushrooms in the dried form, possess intense flavor characteristics. A combination of shiitakes, sugar, soy sauce and water makes a great base for stir-frys. Butter, garlic, chili powder, coriander and pepper all go well with shiitakes. They are also rich in several anti-oxidants and vitamin D.
