Japanese Vegetarian Pasta
This is a very popular summer vegetarian recipe and great for a get together. Nametake (na-may-ta-kay) are soy sauce flavored enoki mushrooms that come jar (see picture). This is the main flavor of this spaghetti salad, but other ingredients such as Shiso leaves, daikon radish and seaweed adds interesting texture and taste to the salad. Enjoy.
