Stroganoff with Shiitake
The stroganoff you've had may not have been the best yet because it didn't have Shiitake in it. It's delicious, and you should try making it. Beef stroganoff is often cooked with brown mushrooms, but I definitely recommend Shiitake because the guanylic acid in dried Shiitake intensifies the flavor of the meat! And in fact, Shiitake and sour cream are the most wonderful combination. Shiitake has two types of aroma: the one you smell through your nose before you eat them and the one that rises up after swallowing them. Shiitake has a strong aroma that comes after the second type, so the scent of the sour cream is enhanced at the same time.
If you have never used shiitake mushrooms in stroganoff, please give it a try.
