Mollie Katzen's Sunomono Ala Ornish

Submitted by Chef #208121

"Tried this tonight. It is a fairly standard Sunomono recipe but I added the Shittake mushrooms and played around with the Splenda. When I get some more Braggs I will use that instead of the soy sauce. Very good taste. Oh yeah as I said fairly standard but Mollie contributed the base to Dean Ornish's Program for Reversing Heart Disease recipe collection in the book by the same name."

Splenda is tricky. This wasn't good. Too much Splenda, it was overly sweet. <br/>Thanks fo trying though.
