Just looked at them as money in the ground! lol <br />Know im lucky to sell any I pick at all because of my love affair with them. I enjoy them a variety of ways, but yes, grilled is very nice, especially over open red hot coals! Yum, i like to use equal parts sherry vin, soy sauce and just a splash of Jefferyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11495981683905742641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5570890979467369384.post-27994056445535937092010-10-26T11:30:55.142-07:002010-10-26T11:30:55.142-07:00Great!

I've also done a pretty rich dish with lotus leaf wrapped dim sum style sticky rice that has a chunk of braised pork belly and a slice of matsutake in the center of each-give that one a try too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5570890979467369384.post-49050147837539802032010-10-26T10:30:13.145-07:002010-10-26T10:30:13.145-07:00LC nice article!

I have read several articles concerning their anti-tumor properties and have heard the same thing from some Japanese and Laosians.<br /><br />Will you be going back to the Peninsula this fall?MPBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13300398260296738649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5570890979467369384.post-53025071716286273562010-10-26T10:22:27.555-07:002010-10-26T10:22:27.555-07:00Mary/Ladyflyfish - Maybe I was a little hard on ma...Mary/Ladyflyfish - Maybe I was a little hard on matsi in the first graph of this post. I should admit that they're growing on me and each year I think I like them a bit more. The preparation is key. They have great texture, hold up well in prolonged cooking, and if you choose your ingredients well, that spicy cinnamon-like flavor is like no other mushroom. Will try Sichuan prep next.<br /><brLangdon Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13824455892396013221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5570890979467369384.post-45850299484458547372010-10-25T16:00:56.507-07:002010-10-25T16:00:56.507-07:00I recently did some tempura matsi buttons cut into...I recently did some tempura matsi buttons cut into quarters (or eighths if they were large). They got a little szechuan pepper salt in the batter and a sprinkle after frying, and I ate them with a soy sauce/chili oil/rice vinegar sauce. They were much to my liking but a little strong for the girlfriend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5570890979467369384.post-48788081703262716892010-10-25T13:21:31.369-07:002010-10-25T13:21:31.369-07:00I find them under tan oak in northern CA around ne...I find them under tan oak in northern CA around new years. Not really one of my favorites either but I like them in miso soup; sliced very thin and added a minute or two before serving. A friend of mine likes to put them in tea (though I've forgetten what kind which is probably really important), definitely a unique flavor.Perrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5570890979467369384.post-86023346775220614062010-10-25T11:05:34.859-07:002010-10-25T11:05:34.859-07:00sorry that comment was mine...stupid google forget...sorry that comment was mine...stupid google forgets who I am sometimes!ladyflyfshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09715911521612368967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5570890979467369384.post-37758117931022556882010-10-25T10:59:24.100-07:002010-10-25T10:59:24.100-07:00Lang, I've tried and tried to like matsutake a...Lang, I've tried and tried to like matsutake and I just can't seem to get my taste buds wrapped around them. It's one of those things you either love or hate or love to hate lol. I do love to find them though...but I give them all away.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03466570989397533778noreply@blogger.com
