Ingredients

  • 500g large cluster oyster mushrooms
  • 3 tbsp white miso paste
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp fresh grated ginger
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • 2 thinly sliced scallions

Instructions

1
Begin by cleaning the oyster mushrooms with a dry brush to remove debris, keeping the clusters intact for a 'steak' appearance.
2
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the miso paste, maple syrup, soy sauce, smoked paprika, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic until a smooth, thick glaze forms.
3
Heat the avocado oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
4
Place the mushroom clusters in the pan, searing them undisturbed for 4-5 minutes until deep golden brown and crispy on the edges.
5
Flip the mushrooms carefully and pour the miso-maple glaze directly into the pan.
6
Reduce heat to low and baste the mushrooms continuously for 2 minutes as the sauce caramelizes and coats the fungi in a sticky, umami-rich layer.
7
Remove from heat immediately, garnish with sesame seeds and fresh scallions, and serve hot over a bed of creamy coconut polenta or jasmine rice.
