Shitake-Barley Salad with a Soy-Sake Dressing

By
With the warm weather we're having today, mushroom-barley soup didn't sound very appealing. So I changed direction and went for a cold mushroom-barley salad, using the shitake mushrooms from my CSA box.









shitake mushrooms
napa cabbage
spinach
soy sauce
sake
olive oil
garlic
cooked barley
furikake*

I washed, dried, and sliced the shitake mushrooms. Then I sautéed them in a bit of olive oil with thin slices of napa cabbage, whole baby spinach, and minced garlic. When they began to soften and stick to the pan, I deglazed the pan with a splash of soy sauce and a splash of sake. 

Toss with cooked barley, more olive oil, add soy sauce to taste. Chill. Sprinkle with furikake and serve.

*furikake is a Japanese seasoning made up of tasted sesame seeds and bits of dried seaweed.

    I love furikake. Why did I never think to sprinkle it on barley. That sounds so delicious. Thanks for the great idea.

    i've never tried shiitake mushrooms fresh before! curiously, in asia where i was orgiinally from, we usually use the dried form! it is really intense in flavour and the soaking liquor makes for easy stock (:

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found."

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

By
Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting  Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of  All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island. But, as enter our eleventh week of being sheltered in place to flatten the curve of the coronavirus, all of our summer plans were canceled, including this long-planned graduation trip to Hawaii. Boo. I understand the need to self-isolate. And we are abiding by the social distancing guidelines put in place by our state. But, boo, nonetheless. Oahu, October 2017 So for this month's Food'N'Flix, I chose to open up the field and let all of the food bloggers take a (virtual) Hawaiian holiday.  My boys have been to Oahu several times with my parents in recent years as my dad grew up there and wanted to spend some time on the island with his grandsons.
