My son’s girlfriend came over for dinner two weeks ago. I only had time to make one dish so I ordered a supplement dish from our favorite local restaurant. I decided to order a vegetarian one to go with the meat dish I made. It consisted simply of shiitake mushrooms and broccoli and flavored with oyster sauce. The shiitake mushrooms were so tender and flavorful. We enjoyed them so much, I decided to recreate it at home. The taste may not be the same, but it was still good. Both the mushrooms and broccoli were tasty and satisfyingly good. It was a guilt-free dish to have. Enjoy!
