    sticky sesame shiitake mushrooms

    Mushrooms are a controversial food. You either love them or hate them. Personally I love them, they are one of my favorite things to eat. Especially shiitake mushrooms, yum. These sticky sesame shiitake mushrooms are perfect for a mushroom lover and can probably convert over a mushroom hater!

    These sticky shiitake sesame mushrooms are made in one pan with limited ingredients.  It is one of those meals that is so simple that it is surprising how flavorful it is. The mushrooms are cooked in sesame oil and then coated in a sauce with sesame oil so that flavor really shines through.

    Mushrooms are actually a complete protein which is rare for a plant protein. If you want to pump up the protein in this meal top it with hemp seeds or sesame seeds. Quinoa is also a good high protein side. Broccoli is a great fresh side that pairs so well with the sesame flavor.

    These sticky sesame mushrooms are
