In the old days, when you waited for an appointment at the doctor’s office or the hairdresser, you read magazines that were nicely stacked on tables. Today, there are just a few left and you wonder about germs and almost everybody is holding their electric devices playing Words with Friends or whatever. I miss those trashy magazines and still look at them if they are available, but I also play Scrabble and Words with Friends. Years ago, I found this recipe in one of those magazines and since it was an advertisement for a Sonoma wine, I ripped out the page. Normally, I ask someone to make me a copy. I found many recipes like this that are part of my cooking repertoire. Personally, I would have never thought of this recipe and the combination of ingredients. It is delicious and has a wonderful flavor with an Asian twist to it. The water chestnuts give it a nice crunch and the ginger goes well with the pork and the shiitake mushrooms. What is there not to like?! The shiitakes act as a little bowl for the pork and is a culinary delight at any party or gathering as an appetizer. Serve it on top of salad with some crusty bread, and you have a delicious lunch or light dinner.

The only time consuming work is chopping the ingredients, from then on it's easy and you can do it. Just mix the ingredients and shape them onto the mushrooms. I use my hands. Good luck and let me know how it turned out. Gerlinde

This one looks tempting! I have collected recipes also from magazines in physician offices also and don't take magazines anymore. I confess that I enjoy reading the headlines on the trashy ones in the check-out line at the grocery store. Thanks for visiting my blog recently - always a pleasure!

Hi Gerlinde, Usually I use cremini, or button mushrooms for stuffing, but these shiitakes would be much more delicious, especially when paired with your Asian-inspired stuffing. Very nice for fall entertaining!

Hi Nancy, thanks for stopping by . The stuffed mushroom are a hit at gatherings and they are different from the stuffed mushrooms that I usually make. The dipping sauce adds a nice flavor.

I adore stuffed mushrooms! Never have I stuffed a shiitake though so thanks for the thought; going to go out and buy some straight away.

I'm in Germany right now and I have not seen shiitake mushrooms. My hairdresser does not have a good selection of magazines.
