ORIENTAL MUSHROOMS

from Tracy Byrd

Recipe

Ingredients:	½ medium onion, diced ½ stick butter 2 Tablespoons soy sauce 2 Tablespoons teriyaki sauce ½ stick teaspoon salt dash pepper 1 pound fresh mushrooms, wiped clean and cut in half water 2 teaspoons all purpose flour

Directions:	1. Place onion in skillet with butter, adding soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, salt & pepper. Cook onion until it begins to brown slightly. 2. Add mushrooms and ¼ cup water. Cook on high, stirring and adding a little water when necessary (¼ cup at a time), until mushrooms are dark and soft. 3. When the mushrooms have softened and browned, sift on the flour and stir well, making the consistency of a light gravy. Add more water if needed and cook for only a moment, stirring constantly. 4. Check the taste and add more teriyaki and soy sauce if necessary. There should be enough gravy for a balance between mushrooms and sauce. Serve in small bowls as a side dish. Tracy’s tip: Try adding a little white wine and/or a clove of minced garlic. When served as a side dish with fish, though, do not add garlic.
