1. 1. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add shallots, and sauté 1 minute. Add sage, 1/4 teaspoon salt, pepper, and mushrooms; sauté 4 minutes. Add garlic, and sauté until mushrooms are lightly browned and liquid almost evaporates (about 5 minutes). Stir in sherry and soy sauce; cook for 30 seconds or until liquid almost evaporates.
