* Look for a meaty mushroom. I used Hen of the Woods (also known as Maitake). Cremini (also called ‘baby bellas’) or white button mushrooms will work, too.
* If you can’t find Hungarian sweet paprika (it may be labeled simply ‘Hungarian paprika’), use regular domestic paprika. Stay away from Spanish paprika for this recipe as it will be too smoky.
* Soy sauce adds some ‘umami’ flavor and salt. If you prefer not to use it, add some kosher salt.
* If you're making this as a main course for a hungry crowd you may want to double the recipe.
