Ingredients:
For Sake Cream
2 tbs. canola oil
2 1/2 cups white button mushrooms
2 cloves chopped garlic
1/2 cup sliced shallots
1 1/4 cup sake and Madeira
1 tbs. kosher salt
1 tbs. Togarashi spice

Mushroom Noodle Dish
2 tbs. canola oil
1 tbs. think sliced garlic
1 tsp. chopped ginger
1/4 cup each oyster, shiitake and shimiji mushrooms
1/2 cup sake cream sauce
1 tbs. togarashi spice
1 tsp. kosher salt

1 tbs. chopped scallions
1 tsp. chopped parsley
1 tsp. chopped thyme
Garnish
dash truffle oil
1 tsp. black winter truffle, chopped
1 tbs. enoki mushrooms
1 tbs. crispy mushroom chips
Method of Preparation:
– Make the sake cream sauce first. Add canola oil to a hot pot with shallots and garlic. Sauté. Next– add white button mushrooms and let them cook down for a minute or so.
– Deglaze with sake and Madeira and season with kosher salt and togarashi spice, which you can get at Asian markets. Reduce by half and add heavy cream. When the cream cooks down a bit, puree the sauce and set aside.
– Now start the rest of the dish. Add oil to a hot pan with thick sliced garlic, chopped ginger, and shimeji, shiitake and oyster mushrooms. Chef Tim says if you can’t find these types of mushrooms, you can substitute with something similar.
– Add the sake cream sauce, more togarashi spice and kosher salt.
– Next, put lo mein noodles in almost boiling water. When they’re ready, add them to the pan with scallions, fresh thyme and parsley. Mix well and it’s ready to plate!
To Plate:
Chef Tim finishes the dish with white truffle oil, enoki mushrooms, some crispy mushroom chips, black winter truffle and more fresh thyme and parsley.
Serving Suggestion: Dragon Punch Cocktail with Lychee.
