This was super easy to make. Quick and you can substitute ingredients you have on hand for an easy throw together meal. It looks more complicated than it is so it's great for an impressive meal for entertaining. It was a little bland. Next time I will add more flavors.

This was quick and easy. We used dried shiitake mushrooms (about 1.5 cups, re-hydrated) and added a little salt, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. Not bad! Even my 2 year old ate it. Will definitely make again.
