Ingredients
Scale
For the Mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons butter or sesame oil
- 2 cups mixed mushrooms (shiitake, cremini, oyster, etc., sliced)
For the Sauce
- 1 tablespoon white or yellow miso paste
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar (optional)
To Serve
- 1 egg yolk (per serving)
- Chopped green onions or chives for garnish
- Toasted sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the fat and cook mushrooms: Heat butter or sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release moisture and become golden brown.
- Make and add the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together miso paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar if using. Add the mixture to the skillet with the mushrooms and stir well to coat. Cook for another 1–2 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens and the mushrooms appear glossy.
- Plate and garnish: Remove the skillet from heat and immediately transfer the mushrooms to serving bowls or place over rice or toast. Gently place an egg yolk on top of each portion. Garnish with chopped green onions or chives and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds if desired.
- Serve: Just before eating, stir the egg yolk into the hot mushrooms to create a rich, silky sauce, enhancing the umami flavor and texture of the dish.
Notes
- For extra umami depth, add a dash of mirin or mushroom soy sauce to the sauce mixture.
- This dish pairs beautifully with steamed rice, noodles, or crusty bread for a satisfying meal.
- To keep the mushrooms as the star, use fresh, high-quality mixed mushrooms.
- If preferred, substitute the egg yolk with a soft-boiled egg for a different texture.
