Ingredients

  • 1 lb king oyster mushrooms
  • 2 tbsp white miso paste
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 3 tbsp chili crisp oil
  • 1/4 cup chopped scallions
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

1
First, slice the thick stems of the king oyster mushrooms into 1-inch thick rounds to mimic the look and texture of sea scallops.
2
Score a light crosshatch pattern into the top and bottom of each mushroom round to allow the marinade to penetrate.
3
In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste, maple syrup, rice vinegar, and smoked paprika until smooth.
4
Heat the sesame oil in a heavy-bottomed cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
5
Sear the mushroom rounds for 3 minutes per side until a deep, golden-brown crust forms.
6
Reduce heat to low, pour the miso glaze into the pan, and toss the mushrooms gently to coat them as the sauce caramelizes and becomes tacky.
7
Remove from heat immediately to prevent burning.
8
Arrange the glazed 'scallops' on a serving platter, drizzle generously with chili crisp oil, and garnish with fresh scallions and toasted sesame seeds for an added layer of aromatic complexity.
