1 teaspoon light olive oil
1 dash toasted sesame oil
12 medium fresh or softened dried shiitake -- stems mushrooms removed
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
10 ounces light tofu -- (1 slice/serving)
1/8 teaspoon shanghai coastline ethmix -- divided

Preparation:

1. Heat the oil in a frying pan. Add the mushrooms, sprinkle with the white pepper, and press down on each with a spatula. Cook just to heat through, about 1 minute. 2. Remove the mushrooms and lay the slices of tofu into the juices left in the pan. Dust lightly with half of the homemade or purchased Shanghai Spice Mix and fry for 2 minutes. Turn and dust the other side with the remaining seasoning mix cooking for another 2 minutes. 3. Pinch out about 1 ounce of bread from the center of each roll. Stir the miso and lemon juice together in a small bowl and spread both halves of each roll with 1 teaspoon of the mixture. Lay a slice of tofu on the bottom half of each roll. Place 3 mushrooms and 3 thin slices of ginger on top. Close the roll and grill for 5 minutes to heat through. Serve with the Mexican Cucumber (see recipe) alongside.
