Background

I adore shiitake mushrooms. Not only are they tasty and healthy but also so very useful and for quick & easy meals. This shiitake and kale stir-fry is ready in just 10 minutes, during which time you can cook some noodles in a separate pan - or just add some rice noodle at the end and cook for a couple of minutes as per pack’s instruction. You can serve it with rice, in a flatbread or on a piece of toast too - and I really love it with baked sweet potatoes! Perfect for a low-cal, vegan diet but leave out the sesame seeds if you're counting the calories!

Ingredients

1 tsp vegetable oil or oil spray
3-5 Shiitake mushrooms
2 cloves of garlic
1 Tbsp Tamari Soya sauce
1 Tbsp mirin or Japanese rice vinegar
2 cups of chopped curly kale
1 Tbsp sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

Slice the mushrooms and garlic.
Heat the oil in a wok or frying pan. Cook the garlic for 30 seconds then add the mushrooms. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until softened then add the soya sauce and mirin.
Let it bubble for a few seconds then add the rinsed kale. Put a lid on, turn down the heat and let it steam for a couple of minutes.
When the kale leaves have wilted, stir through the sesame seeds (if used)and serve.
