Today, I tried simmering 1kg of pork, shiitake mushrooms, and onions in a sweet and savory sauce made with soy sauce and sugar.
The shiitake mushrooms held their shape, but the onions melted away. It seems that if you stir them after simmering for almost an hour, the onions dissolve. However, the shiitake mushrooms soaked up the flavor wonderfully and were delicious.
