I harvested a lot of shiitake mushrooms that I grew myself. I wanted to eat them in a tasty way, so I tried combining them with a cucumber I had in the refrigerator. This was amazingly delicious! Ingredients with different textures really go together well!

By coating the cucumber with flour before cooking it, it blends better with the seasonings and retains its moisture better for a juicy finish.
Add some shichimi chili pepper mix as well as the black pepper if you like. Recipe by Ponie
