    I found when adding this Note that I had made this dish 11 years ago. I commented then it would be better with oyster mushrooms and cilantro and I can report it was. It was a quick and easy dinner and had good flavor. Not the prettiest of dishes (the soy sauce in the marinade makes everything brown) but it tasted good so I didn't really care.

    p. 304 - Happy to report this recipe delivered a quick and tasty meal. I didn’t veer far from the course other than to use a mix of wild mushrooms since some of my shitakes had seen better days and looked more like wizened apple dolls than they did mushrooms! As always, I upped the ante w the garlic and subbed Italian parsley for cilantro due to an allergy. I made this in a skillet as my old wok isn’t suitable for my new induction cook top however I do find a wok to be more serviceable because of the high sides. MC suggests you splash some rice vinegar atop your plated dishes. I elected to do this after first tasting the dish alone. I thought the vinegar enhanced the flavours of the dish. mr bc didn’t use the vinegar and just loved the stir-fry as is. I thought the dish was good but not great. I would have enjoyed it more without the peanuts I think. (and I usually like peanuts but I found their flavour to be somewhat overpowering).

    My review of this dish is a bit skewed as I sent my 18 yo son to do the grocery shopping and as a result got regular mushrooms rather than oyster and no cilantro. So I'm not really giving a fair representation of this dish. It was nice and had good flavor but wasn't spectacular - not that an everynight stir-fry needs to be spectacular. I think cilantro and oyster mushrooms would have given it that edge so I should try it again with those.
