This Japanese-inspired dish only requires a few ingredients and has amazing flavor! Shiitake mushrooms are native to East Asia, and are prized for their rich and savory umami flavor. They're a good source of vitamin B5, copper (sounds strange, but it is one of the few metallic elements that is essential for maintaining normal metabolic processes and a healthy cardiovascular system!), selenium, and panthothenic acid.

Feel free to adapt the amount of wasabi paste used to suit your preferences (you can buy the paste from Amazon or next time you order some takeout sashimi - save some of the wasabi that they provide)!

How to Make Wasabi Soy Shiitake Mushrooms

Heat some butter and oil together in a skillet. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 10 minutes until cooked through.

Whisk the soy sauce (or tamari for gluten free) and wasabi together in a small bowl, then add to the mushrooms.
