  • 1/4 cup water
Directions
  1. In small pot, combine water, shiitake mushrooms and kombu.

  13. Visually divide skillet into five pie slices and place one vegetable in each area—collard greens, onion, carrot, daikon and maitake mushrooms.
  14. Sauté 2 minutes pushing ingredients gently with a wooden spoon so that they don’t stick but stay roughly in their defined area.
