Ingredients

  • 300g fresh shiitake mushrooms
  • 2 tbsp white miso paste
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 2 cups cooked forbidden black rice
  • 1 sliced avocado
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced radishes
  • 1 tsp toasted black sesame seeds
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh scallions

Instructions

1
First, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
Gently wipe the shiitake mushrooms clean and remove the tough stems, then slice them into thick, uniform strips.
3
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, maple syrup, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until smooth; toss the mushrooms thoroughly in this glaze until every piece is well-coated.
4
Spread the mushrooms in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 18-22 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are caramelized and crispy.
5
While the mushrooms roast, fluff your cooked black rice and divide it into serving bowls.
6
Once the mushrooms are ready, arrange them atop the rice, garnishing with fresh avocado slices, crisp radish rounds, a sprinkle of black sesame seeds, and a handful of bright, chopped scallions for a professional finish.
