Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 200 grams maitake mushrooms
- potato starch for dusting or cornstarch
- 20 grams vegan butter
- 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
- 1/2 tbsp mirin see Ingredient Notes for substitution
- black pepper to taste
for garnish (optional)
- sesame seeds
- chopped parsley
Instructions
- Lightly dust maitake mushrooms with potato starch.
- Heat vegan butter in a frying pan, and cook the mushrooms on medium-low heat for 5 minutes.Cooking Tip: Use a spatula or a potato masher to flatten the mushrooms. Keep pressing down on them the entire time they're cooking. This way, you get a more even sear and crisp on them. After 5 minutes, flip the mushrooms over and cook for an additional 3 minutes, until browned and crispy on the edges.
- Once the mushrooms are seared, reduce the heat to low, and add soy sauce, mirin and black pepper. Stir and coat both sides of the mushrooms with the sauce.
- Plate and garnish with sesame seeds and parsley (optional). Enjoy!
