Ingredients
- 500g large cluster oyster mushrooms
- 3 tbsp white miso paste
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tbsp neutral high-heat oil
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 2 thinly sliced scallions
Instructions
1
Begin by gently cleaning the oyster mushrooms with a dry brush; do not rinse them to ensure a crispy sear.
2
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the white miso, maple syrup, sesame oil, soy sauce, grated ginger, garlic, and smoked paprika until a smooth glaze forms.
3
Heat the neutral oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
4
Place the mushrooms in the pan, weighted down by a heavy pot or a bacon press to achieve maximum surface contact and golden-brown edges.
5
Sear for 4-5 minutes until deep mahogany.
6
Flip the mushrooms, pour the miso-maple glaze directly over the clusters, and reduce the heat to low.
7
Allow the glaze to bubble and caramelize for another 2 minutes until it clings to the folds of the mushrooms like a sticky lacquer.
8
Remove from heat immediately, garnish generously with toasted sesame seeds and fresh scallions, and serve hot over a bed of jasmine rice or creamy polenta.
