  1. I used this recipe to stuff some baby portabella mushrooms with and it worked really really well. Lots of compliments with this one and its super easy. I omited the caviar and didn't use any pea shoots. Will make again, and again. Thank you!
     
  2. Very, Very good and so easy to make, I used Best Foods Mayonnaise, worked fine. I didn't use the caviar as we don't care for it. Served it with sauted snow peas. DH like the leftover for lunch cold. Thank you Chia for another delicious recipe.
