Shiitake Nanbanzuke
Nanbanzuke is a popular Japanese marinated dish in a spicy vinegar sauce.
Add bonito flakes to the Shiitake broth, vinegar, salt, sugar, soy sauce, red pepper, and Shiitake stems to make a thick Umami sauce.
This slightly spicy dish is the perfect snack to have with alcohol. Enjoy juicy Shiitake packed with Umami taste. You can retain the onion's crispy texture by slicing the onion along its fiber.
