Edamame With Shiitake Recipes

Steps:

• Soak 1 ounce dried shiitake mushrooms in 2 cups boiling water, covered, until soft, 40 minutes. Drain, reserving the liquid. Discard the stems and chop the mushrooms. Cook 2 cups sushi rice as the label directs, using 1/2 cup mushroom-soaking liquid in place of 1/2 cup water. Cook 1 1/2 cups frozen edamame in salted boiling water until tender, 6 minutes. Add the edamame and shiitakes to the rice; season with salt.

Steps:

• In a food processor, puree fish with the egg and cream. Check for seasoning. In a chilled stainless steel bowl, fold in crab and chervil into the mousse. Place in a pastry bag and stuff each mushroom. Dip each mushroom in tempura batter (recipe to follow) and in a 375 degree fryer, fry until golden brown.;
• TEMPURA BATTER: In a bowl, whisk in soda into the flour until a pancake batter consistency is achieved.
• EDAMAME AND TRUFFLE PUREE: Saute shallots until soft. Add chicken stock and bring to boil. Check for seasoning. Add edamames to stock. Simmer for 30 minutes until very soft. Puree in food processor with truffle oil and butter. Fold in truffles and season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Using the coarse holes of a box grater, shred the tofu. Spread tofu out on a clean kitchen towel to drain while you prepare the sauce and mushrooms.
• In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, Shaoxing, lime juice and sesame oil.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until it's very hot, then add the peanut oil; it should thin out on contact. Once the oil is hot, add the mushrooms and cook, tossing occasionally, until most of the mushroom liquid has evaporated and mushrooms are browned and slightly crisp, 8 to 12 minutes. Stir in the scallion, lemongrass, ginger, garlic, chile and a pinch of salt. Cook until softened, about 2 minutes.
• Carefully transfer the tofu from the towel into the skillet. Toss in the edamame and the soy sauce mixture. Cook until mixture is heated through. Season with salt as needed. Remove from heat and stir in herbs. Serve with lime wedges.
