Here a follow-up for Alex Silbajoris' Chile Tequila and for any one else
who has chiles preserved in alcohol. Alex, thanks a lot for that *cracks
knuckles* post which reminded me to write down my Shitake Teaser from a few
nights ago.
Last season I preserved Tabasco and Thai peppers in Golden Sherry. Since it
is time to use those bottles up, I was very generous with this infused
liquid ...

Knock-out Shitake Teaser
Recipe By : Eruna Schultheiss
Serving Size : 2 Preparation Time :0:30
Categories : Appetizer/Snack
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
10 dried Shiitake mushrooms
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup chile infused golden sherry
5 chiles -- finely chopped
Soak the dried Shitake mushrooms in hot water for 10 minutes. Drain. Remove
and discard the stems. Cut mushrooms into stripes. In small saucepan mix
the ingredients for the sauce. Add several of the finely chopped, sherry
infused chilies. Add the mushrooms and saute until the sauce thickens.
Enjoy the heat!
At least I didn't add Natto to this one ... Mostly every one is able to
find dried Shitake mushrooms, aren't you? So this recipe is just a little
bit exotic this time - just enough to stay within my reputation....
Wishing you a hot weekend,
