How to Make It
- Prepare the Shiitake Mushrooms:
- Clean the shiitake mushrooms with a damp cloth and slice them.

- Add Flavour:
- Mince a few cloves of garlic and add them to the pan with the mushrooms. Sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Stir in soy sauce (or tamari) and brown sugar (or maple syrup) to create a glaze. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavours to meld.
- Heat the Jasmine Rice:
- While the mushrooms are cooking, heat the Tilda Steamed Jasmine Rice according to the package instructions—just 2 minutes in the microwave!
- Serve:
- Fluff the jasmine rice and plate it, topping it with the caramelized shiitake mushrooms.
- Drizzle with a little sesame oil and garnish with chopped green onions for an extra pop of flavour and colour.
