Background
Although this pan-fried Shiitake with fennel is vegan and gluten-free - it can be served as a side dish with grilled fish or meat. I served it with wakame & brown rice noodles but you could serve it with pasta, boiled rice or on a piece of toast.
Ingredients
- ½ large fennel or 1 small
- 120g Shiitake mushrooms
- 1 chilli, deseeded
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 Tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 Tbsp Kikkoman soy sauce (gluten-free)
- 2 large handfuls of baby spinach
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
Instructions
- Cut or shred the fennel into thin slices. Chop the chilli and garlic.
- Heat 1 Tbsp of oil in a pan then gently sauté the fennel under cover for 10 minutes over low heat.
- Add the mushrooms (torn into small pieces, if they’re bigger than bite-size), the chopped chilli & garlic and stir for 5 minutes.
- Add the vinegar a soy sauce. Cook for approx. 5 minutes (under cover), until the vegetables are soft.
- Add the spinach, stir, then put the lid on and steam over low heat for a couple of minutes until the spinach has wilted.
- Stir in the sesame seeds, season to taste and serve.
