I found your recipe through Blessed Homemaker and I loved it. Although I did not use Agrocybe Aegerita, I used a mushroom with similar chinese name, that looked like shitake.
Can I replace these mushrooms with shiitake?
Dear Fi, yes absolutely! Although I would leave it to the end and probably in the last 30 minutes of consumption. Chinese mushrooms take longer to cook and need quite some time to allow the flavours to come out. Lisa
