Ingredients

  • 1 lb cluster oyster mushrooms
  • 3 tbsp white miso paste
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tbsp neutral high-heat oil
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • 2 thinly sliced scallions

Instructions

1
First, gently tear the oyster mushrooms into bite-sized strips, ensuring you maintain a meaty texture.
2
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the miso paste, maple syrup, sesame oil, ginger, and rice vinegar until smooth to create the glaze.
3
In a separate shallow dish, combine the cornstarch and smoked paprika.
4
Toss the mushroom strips lightly in the cornstarch mixture, shaking off any excess to ensure a thin, crispy coating.
5
Heat the neutral oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
6
Arrange the mushrooms in a single layer and sear undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until deeply golden brown.
7
Flip and sear the other side for another 2 minutes.
8
Pour the miso-maple glaze directly into the hot pan, tossing the mushrooms rapidly for 60 seconds until the sauce caramelizes and clings to the crispy edges.
9
Remove from heat immediately, garnish with toasted sesame seeds and fresh scallions, and serve hot over steamed jasmine rice.
