Beet Greens & Mushrooms

Submitted by Chickenzombies

"This is a tasty vegetarian side dish (my roommate who normally won't touch vegetables chowed down on this) combining mushrooms and beet greens steamed in a garlic-mirin sauce. This is also delicious served over rice, or with a little wasabi paste added at the same time as the Mirin."
