Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
8 Whole Shiitake Mushrooms -- soaked 10 minutes in 1 cup hot water
1 1/2 cups water -- including reserved shiitake soaking water
1/2 teaspoon Sesame Oil
2 Tablespoons onion -- minced
1 clove garlic -- minced
2 teaspoons Kuzu Root Starch -- dissolved in 1 Tbsp. cold water
1 1/2 teaspoons Shoyu Soy Sauce -- or to taste
2 Tablespoons fresh chives -- finely chopped

Remove the stems from the shiitake, discard stems and slice the caps.
Reserve the soaking water and use as part of the water measurement. Heat
up the oil, and sauté the onions, garlic and mushrooms for 2 to 3 minutes.
Add water, cover and simmer 5 to 7 minutes. Slowly, add the diluted kuzu,
stirring constantly until translucent and thick. Reduce the flame to low
and add the shoyu. Mix, cover and simmer 2 minutes. Remove from the flame
and mix in the chives. Serve as you would any other gravy. Vegetable or
fish stock may be substituted for water to create different flavors for
various occasions.

ChupaNote: needed something. As usual, I added a healthy dose of ground
Aleppo red pepper (the smokiness was perfect) and a squeeze of fresh
lemon. This is a lovely sauce over rice, steamed vegetables, or baked
potatoes.
