1/2 cup rice

1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1/2 cup black tea leaves

4 cinnamon sticks

2 1/4 inch slices ginger root

1 tablespoon coriander seeds

1 bay leaf

1 teaspoon whole clove

MUSHROOM MIXTURE:

1 pound assorted mushrooms, washed, dried and cut

4 cloves garlic, finely chopped

2 teaspoons olive oil

1 teaspoon reduced sodium soy sauce, or to taste

Freshly ground black pepper -- to taste

 

 

1. In a mixing bowl, combine all smoking mixture ingredients. Line a wok

with foil and mound smoking mixture in the center.

 

2. In a mixing bowl, combine mushrooms with garlic, oil, soy sauce, and

black pepper. Toss lightly to coat.

 

3. Set a wire rack in the wok and place a tight-fitting lid on top. Heat

wok over high heat until wisps of smoke begin to appear when lid is

lifted, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Quickly place mushrooms on

rack and replace cover. Smoke about 10 minutes, until mushrooms are tender

and juicy. Turn off heat and transfer mushrooms to a bowl. (Discard

NOTES : A wok turned smoker makes this me~lange of mushrooms the perfect

topping for whole-wheat pasta or thickjapanese ramen noodles.

Sprinkle with chopped chives or thinly sliced scallions. The

slight smokiness enhances mushrooms in a most delightful way.

Experiment using different teas; Yunnan, Assam, Kenyan, or Keenum

are good choices.
