Additional Information:
You can add any filings you wish, or leave it out altogether. It will still taste good. To achieve the smooth texture, it is important that you do not add too little or too much water, and do not steam it over high steam. The lower the heat, the smoother the texture. You can use any kind of mushrooms. I like to use shimeji mushrooms, but I ran out of it today, so I used dried shitake mushrooms instead.
