Ingredients

• 500 g Button mushrooms (or cremini mushrooms)
• 4 tbsp Soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Brown sugar
• 2 tsp Sesame oil
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp Sriracha (or your favorite hot sauce)
• 1 tsp Cornstarch
• 2 tbsp Water
• 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 2 Scallions, sliced (optional garnish)
• 1 tbsp Sesame seeds (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and slice them into thick pieces if they are large, or leave them whole if small.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and Sriracha until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water to create a slurry and set aside.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Add the mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5–7 minutes until they release their moisture and begin to caramelize.

Step 6

Pour the teriyaki sauce mixture over the mushrooms and stir to coat evenly.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 2–3 minutes.

Step 8

Add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet and stir well. Cook for another 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens and clings to the mushrooms.

Step 9

Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish.

Step 10

Garnish with sliced scallions and sesame seeds, if desired, before serving.
