Best Shiitake Mushrooms And Sugar Snap Peas Recipes

NOODLE BOWL WITH SOBA, ENOKI MUSHROOMS, SUGAR SNAP PEAS AND TOFU

Steps:

• To make the broth, combine dried mushrooms, scallions or leek, kombu, carrots, and water in a saucepan or soup pot and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 20 minutes. Place a strainer over a bowl and line with cheesecloth. Drain broth and return to pot. Season to taste with soy sauce, salt or both.
• Bring broth to a simmer. Add enoki mushrooms, tofu and sugar snap peas and simmer 2 to 3 minutes. If noodles have been refrigerated, warm by placing them in a strainer and dipping strainer into the simmering broth.
• Distribute noodles among 4 deep or wide soup bowls. Add the white and light green parts of the scallions and chopped cilantro, cover and turn off heat. Allow to sit for 3 minutes.
• Ladle soup into bowls, taking care to distribute tofu, sugar snap peas, enokis and scallions evenly. Sprinkle dark green parts of the scallions over each serving, garnish with cilantro sprigs, and serve.

SNAP PEAS AND SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS IN SCALLION CREPES WITH LEMON ZEST

Steps:

• To make the crepes, pass the 8 whole scallions one at a time through a juicer, then run the milk through the juicer to extract all the juice. Whisk the eggs into the mixture. Combine the flour and salt in a medium bowl. Pouring in a thin, steady stream, slowly whisk the scallion-and-milk mixture into the flour, and keep on whisking until the batter is very smooth. Whisk in the butter, the lemon zest, the thinly sliced scallion and 5 tablespoons of water. Allow the batter to rest at room temperature for at least half an hour and preferably for 2 hours.
• To make the filling, heat the olive oil in a medium skillet set over high heat until it just starts to smoke. Add the peas and quickly saute them until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the peas to a bowl. Add the mushrooms to the skillet, reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the peas.
• Return the skillet to high heat and then add 1/4cup water, the lemon juice and lemon zest to the pan. Cook, scraping the bottom of the pan, until the liquid is reduced to about 2 tablespoons. Pour the liquid over the mushrooms and peas, toss them and season to taste with salt.
• When ready to serve, heat an 8-inch crepe or omelet pan over medium high heat. Brush the bottom of the pan with a little olive oil and coat it with crepe batter (tilt the pan to make the crepes as thin as possible). Turn the crepe almost immediately and cook the other side until lightly browned. Then transfer to a plate and repeat until all the batter is used, placing the cooked crepes between layers of wax paper.
• Place about 1/4 cup of the mushroom-pea mixture (rewarm it if necessary) on each crepe and carefully roll them up. Serve immediately.

BURRATA WITH SNAP PEAS AND SHIITAKES

Steps:

• Put the olive oil in a small bowl. Using a microplane, zest the lemon directly over the olive oil so that the zest falls in and the essential oils are captured. If possible, do this an hour before serving. You'll end up with more flavored oil than you need; you can refrigerate it and use for a salad dressing in the next few days. Juice the lemon and reserve the juice separately.
• Line a plate with paper towels. Put your largest skillet over medium-high heat and add enough vegetable oil to generously coat the bottom. When the oil is shimmering, add the mushrooms in a single layer. Sprinkle with a pinch of kosher salt. Cook until deep golden brown on one side, then flip and cook the other side. Transfer with a slotted spatula to paper towels and allow to cool.
• Strain the lemon zest from the olive oil. Put a few leaves of frisee or radicchio on your serving plate and place the burrata on top. In a small bowl, toss the sugar snap peas with a generous tablespoon of the olive oil, 2 teaspoons of the lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon of the Maldon salt. Pour the contents of the bowl over the burrata. Scatter the shiitakes over the top, then the pine nuts and a few more flakes of Maldon salt. Serve right away, before the mushrooms lose their crunch.

SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS AND SUGAR-SNAP PEAS

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat the canola and sesame oils over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms are just beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle the sugar over the mushrooms and then add the wine and soy sauce. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
• Add the sugar-snap peas, cover, reduce the heat to medium, and cook until the pea pods are just crisp-tender and bright green, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve immediately.
