What does it taste like? It starts with a salty and slightly sweet taste from the soy-sauce glazed Shiitake mushrooms. Then you will taste a light crunch from the diced asparagus and fresh mungbean sprouts, followed the creaminess of the avocados. Overall, it has a dynamic range of flavors and textures. Try it out at home and get a break from all the meat you usually eat throughout the week.
Key taste variable: Soy Sauce Glaze. This glaze uses only three ingredients. If you don’t have mirin, simply use a white wine.
