Stuffed Portabella Asian

Submitted by CoolMonday

"I think that Asian foods are probably my favorites. The flavors are so pungent and distinct. I cook more asian recipes then any other and the food never seems to last very long so I guess everyone else here likes it too. The ingredients can be adjusted to whatever pleases your palate, but the posted ones are the way we like them. The apricot flavored white wine I used was Fetzer's Gewurztraminer... just don't ask me to pronounce it."

This is a recipe I missed trying during the RSC contest because I was out of pickled ginger. First let me say the instructions are very detailed & clear. I love when there is no room for error. :-) Now to the taste. These are truly jewels. Both DH & I loved these. The whole thing just works together beautifully! The chicken filling is wonderful! The combination of sweet & hot flavors is outstanding, but not overpowering. And the coating on the mushroom bakes up crispy. I did make the filling the evening before to help speed lunch to the table the next day. I served these with Asian Green Beans and canteloupe. Thanks CoolMonday for sharing your creativity. Terrific job!!
