What kind of mushroom is best?
Thanks for picking that up, Kelly. I fixed the recipe!
Are you only placing the spices in the bowl for the first instruction? Sorry if I’m just being silly, but it seemed like you meant to place something in the bowl and then add the spices :)
Hi, Kelly. What am I missing in the first line? Thanks for catching the part about the green onions!
You are missing something in the first line of instructions and it doesn’t say when to add in the green onion. But it was still very yummy :)
