Mollie Katzen's Sunomono Ala Ornish
Tried this tonight. it is a fairly standard sunomono recipe but i added the shittake mushrooms and played around with the splenda. when i get some more braggs i will use that instead of the soy sauce. very good taste. oh yeah as i said fairly standard but mollie contributed the base to dean ornish's program for reversing heart disease recipe collection in the book by the same name.
