Name: Grilled Shiitakes with Ginger and Scallions
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 30 min
Yield: Makes 4 side-dish servings
Ingredients: 1 1/2 tablespoons dry Sherry; 1 tablespoon soy sauce; 1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger; 1 1/2 teaspoons rice vinegar (not seasoned); 1/2 teaspoon sugar; 2 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil; 1 1/2 lb large fresh shiitake mushrooms (3 inches wide), stems cut off and discarded; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/2 teaspoon black pepper; 2 scallions, cut into very thin strips (2 inches long)

If your mushrooms are dirty, allow time for wiping them clean with slightly dampened paper towels before lighting the charcoal.

Cooks' notes:

• If you aren't able to grill outdoors, mushrooms can be grilled in a hot lightly oiled well-seasoned large (2-burner) ridged grill pan over moderately high heat.
• If you aren't able to find large shiitakes, you can use smaller ones but will need to grill them on a lightly oiled perforated grill sheet to prevent them from falling through the grill rack.
