Ingredients

  • 2 large clusters fresh maitake mushrooms
  • 3 tbsp white miso paste
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 tsp freshly grated ginger
  • 1 tbsp neutral high-heat oil
  • 1 tbsp toasted black sesame seeds
  • 2 thinly sliced scallions

Instructions

1
Begin by gently cleaning the maitake mushrooms with a soft brush; do not rinse them to ensure a crispy sear.
2
In a small glass bowl, whisk together the miso paste, maple syrup, sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger until a smooth, thick glaze forms.
3
Heat the neutral oil in a heavy-bottomed cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
4
Place the mushroom clusters flat into the pan and press down firmly with a spatula to encourage browning.
5
Sear for 4 minutes without moving them until a deep golden crust forms.
6
Carefully flip the mushrooms, lower the heat slightly, and brush the miso-maple glaze generously over the browned surfaces.
7
Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the glaze to caramelize and become sticky.
8
Remove from the pan immediately, garnish with black sesame seeds and scallions, and serve hot over steamed jasmine rice or wilted bok choy.
