directions

  • Soak the dried mushrooms in boiling water for 15 minutes.
  • Rinse the quinoa. Place the quinoa in a fine-mesh strainer, and rinse thoroughly with cool water. Rub and swish the quinoa with your hand while rinsing, and rinse for at least 2 minutes under the running water. Drain.
  • Dry and toast quinoa in saucepan. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in the saucepan over medium-high heat, and add the drained quinoa. Cook, stirring, for about 1 minute, letting the water evaporate. Remove to a large bowl.
  • Strain the dried mushrooms, reserving 1/2 cup of the soaking liquid. Discard the stalks and finely slice the caps.
  • In a small saucepan, heat the sherry and the stock. Cover and keep at a low simmer.
  • Heat the remaining olive oil in a large saucepan. Saute the onion over medium high heat for 5 minutes, or until softened. Add the garlic, ginger and Nanami Togarashi and cook for 1 minute.
  • Increase the heat to high heat and add fresh mushrooms, reserving the enoki until later. Cook for 5 minutes, until softened.
  • Add the quinoa, dried mushrooms, reserved soaking liquid, and hot stock, stirring well. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer for 35 minutes, or until all the liquid is evaporated.
  • Chop the coy sum and steam until just wilted, then add to the caserole along with the enoki mushrooms. Stir in the rayu and serve.
