Sesame Shiitake Mushroom - Great Taste And Younger Looking Too!

Sesame Shiitake Mushroom by Ratchadawan Chambers

This is one of my favorite Korean side dishes. My husband love to make it ahead of time and let it marinated until we ready to eat. Shiitake mushroom gives a very nice, meaty, flavorful taste. You can buy them as a whole or as slices from Asian markets or major grocery stores.

Did you know that Shiitake mushroom is great for your skin? It promotes healthy, elasticity and younger looking skin. I think I need to add more mushrooms to my diet from now on.
