Notes

Note: Mirin is available in Asian markets, some grocery stores and on Amazon. Mirin is rice wine used in Japanese cooking. You can substitute sherry or white wine with a pinch of sugar may be substituted. A microplane zester makes quick work of zesting a citrus fruit.

You can use white, baby bella or crimini or shiitaki mushrooms. Shiitake mushrooms will double the carbohydrate count but also amp up the flavor considerably.
