Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 500g fresh mushrooms (shiitake, cremini, or button)
  • 3 tablespoons miso paste (white or red)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

Garnishes

  • 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • Optional: chili flakes for extra heat

Instructions

  1. Clean the Mushrooms: Gently wipe the mushrooms with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Avoid rinsing them under water to prevent them from becoming soggy and losing flavor.
  2. Slice the Mushrooms: Depending on their size, either halve or slice the mushrooms into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
  3. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium heat until it shimmers.
  4. Sauté Garlic and Ginger: Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not burnt.
  5. Add Mushrooms: Toss the sliced mushrooms into the skillet and stir well to coat them in the oil, garlic, and ginger. Cook for approximately 5-7 minutes until they soften and release their moisture.
  6. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the miso paste and soy sauce with a couple of tablespoons of warm water to create a smooth, pourable sauce.
  7. Combine Mushrooms and Sauce: Pour the miso sauce over the mushrooms in the skillet. Stir well to combine, ensuring the mushrooms are evenly coated. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to meld and heat the sauce thoroughly.
  8. Adjust the Flavor: Taste the mushrooms and adjust seasoning if necessary by adding more soy sauce or miso paste. For a spicy kick, sprinkle in some chili flakes to your preference.
  9. Garnish: Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
  10. Serve Warm: Serve the Japanese Miso Mushrooms warm as a side dish or spoon over steamed rice for a comforting meal.

Notes

  • Do not wash mushrooms with water as they absorb moisture, which affects texture and flavor.
  • Use a mix of mushroom varieties like shiitake, cremini, and button for more complex flavors.
  • Adjust miso and soy sauce quantities to balance saltiness according to your taste.
  • For a vegan version, ensure the miso paste and soy sauce are certified vegan.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to avoid drying out.
