Very good and easy to sub out if you don't have some ingredients. Added miso paste this time and was so yummy. Silly me keeps forgetting the scallions and it is still yummy! 2nd time this month we have had this!! Highly recommend!

This was quite yummy! & easy! I also used sesame instead of canola oil, mirin instead of sake, & sesame seeds instead of cilantro. But the shiitakes were wonderful in this! Definitely will be a repeat around here.

I made this for dinner tonight and I loved it! Very easy and pretty fast. I used sesame instead of canola oil, mirin instead of sake, white mushrooms instead of shiitakes, and toasted sesame seeds instead of cilantro, based on my ingredients at home. I also stirred some garlic chili paste into the chicken broth. Highly recommended!
