Ingredients

• 500 grams Button mushrooms (or cremini mushrooms)
• 60 ml Soy sauce
• 30 ml Mirin
• 15 grams Brown sugar
• 15 ml Rice vinegar
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, finely grated
• 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water (for cornstarch slurry)
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 2 stalks Green onion, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel or rinsing briefly, then pat them dry. Slice the mushrooms into thick slices or leave them whole if small.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to make the teriyaki sauce.

Step 3

In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and swirl to coat the pan.

Step 5

Add the mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their liquid and start to brown.

Step 6

Pour the teriyaki sauce into the skillet with the mushrooms. Stir well to coat the mushrooms evenly.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 2–3 minutes to allow the sauce to slightly thicken and the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Stir the cornstarch slurry into the skillet and cook for another 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 9

Remove from heat and transfer the teriyaki mushrooms to a serving dish.

Step 10

Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired, before serving.
