We found some fresh Shitake mushrooms and here is what we did with them! We add a nice salty, tangy and a little bit spicy marinade to these and it really brings out the meatiness of these mushrooms. You can substitute these for meat in a dish if you like.
Ingredients
- 1-2 lbs Shiitake mushrooms
- 2 tbsp Rice Vinegar
- 2 Tbsp Water
- 1 tbsp White Miso Paste
- 1 Tbsp. Sesame Oil
- 1 tsp Good Soy Sauce
- 1 tsp Gochujang
- 1 tsp Sir Ratchet or Sriracha Hot Sauce
- 1 tsp sugar or honey
Directions
Marinade
- Combine all of your ingredients except for the mushrooms into a small bowl and whisk until thoroughly combined. Use a fork or a small whisk for this task.
Build’em and Grill’em
- Remove the stems and then take a skewer though the mushroom center but the long way so that they can all lay flat. The skewer is really a way to make the grilling easier. If you have a grill that these won’t fall through, like a grill pan with smaller holes you can use that and you don’t need the skewers.
- Brush the mushrooms with the marinade on the mushroom tops and set them over the coals to grill for about 3 minutes per side and brush the remaining marinade on the bottom side while they grill. Flip a few times so they don’t burn and once you have a nice sear pull them off the grill and serve them up as a side or main course with a steak or over some rice with some green onions to garnish.
