Notes

1. The stems on shiitake mushrooms tend to be very tough. They are alright if you use them in stocks or anything of that sort where you are extracting the flavor over a long period of time. But otherwise the texture is very woodsy and practically un-chewable.
2. If you want to make this a completely vegan recipe, just use agave or molasses instead of the honey.
3. Depending on how spicy you like it, feel free to remove the seeds of the Thai chili or keep them in. Regardless, make sure it is sliced super thin so that no one bite gets a huge slice of chili.

4. The nutritional information should be used for informational purposes only.
