6 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced

½ cup sliced radishes

1 fresh serrano chile pepper, stemmed, seeded, and thinly sliced (see Tip)

2 tablespoons gluten-free reduced-sodium soy sauce

Tips

Tip: Because chile peppers contain volatile oils that can burn your skin and eyes, avoid direct contact with them as much as possible. When working with chile peppers, wear plastic or rubber gloves. If your bare hands do touch the peppers, wash your hands and nails well with soap and warm water.
