Tips

Cremini mushrooms, oyster mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms all work well in this recipe. Use a medley, or, if preferred, use a single variety of mushroom instead.
Often used as a garnish in sushi, tobiko is a fish roe like caviar, but less expensive. It has a wonderful sea-salty flavour. It can be found in Japanese grocers, online and in most well-stocked supermarkets.
Japanese furikake seasoning is a savoury blend of nori, toasted sesame seeds and spices. It can be found in Japanese grocers, online and in most well-stocked supermarkets.
