Ingredients

  • 200g Maitake mushrooms
  • 1 cup sushi rice
  • 2 tbsp white miso paste
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1 scallion thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 sheet nori strips

Instructions

1
Begin by gently tearing the Maitake mushrooms into bite-sized clusters, keeping them intact for maximum surface area.
2
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the white miso, honey, rice vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, and sesame oil until a glossy, emulsified glaze forms.
3
Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat with a neutral oil, and sear the mushrooms undisturbed for 4 minutes until deeply golden and crispy.
4
Lower the heat, pour the miso-honey mixture over the mushrooms, and toss rapidly for 60 seconds until the glaze bubbles and coats every crevice.
5
Serve the caramelized mushrooms immediately over a bed of steaming, fluffy sushi rice.
6
Garnish generously with freshly sliced scallions, toasted sesame seeds, and delicate strips of nori to balance the savory-sweet profile with a hint of oceanic umami.
