Shiitake Mushrooms Stew

This recipe came about accidentally one day. I cooked some sauteed butter shiitake mushrooms but they turned out a little drier than usual. So I added some stock and soy milk and it transformed into this soupy shiitake mushrooms stew. It’s buttery, slightly creamy and quite luxurious. It turns out to be a perfect meatless, vegan dish for mushroom lovers (and a nice save for me :D)
