Shiso is a type of Japanese herb.<\/p>\n
It has such a unique flavor and it’s hard to explain to people who have never tried it before.<\/p>\n
I usually tell people that it’s a Japanese basil because it can be used in place of basil for most dishes, although the flavor is quite different from basil.<\/p>\n

This beautiful dried shiso was given by a friend unexpectedly, and I was waiting for the perfect time to use it.<\/p>\n

When I got these beautiful king mushrooms from the local Asian market, I thought it would be perfect to make shiso flavored pasta dish with sauteed king mushrooms.<\/p>\n

It was absolutely delicious!!<\/p>\n
The king mushrooms, shiso, soy olive oil, and scallions…<\/p>\n
Big flavors burst in your mouth!<\/p>\n
This is another good example to show that you don’t need to have meat or dairy products to make a flavorful dish! <\/p>\n
