    Sesame oil

    Tamari sauce

    See recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

    Instructions

    Step 1: Cut the mushrooms into 1 ½ inch discs, saving the tops to use in other recipes like mushroom pho.

    Step 2: With a sharp knife, lightly score top and bottom of the mushroom pieces with an X shape. Set mushroom pieces aside.

    Step 3: Cut seaweed into strips with a sharp knife or kitchen scissors.

    Step 4: In a bowl, combine rice wine, broth, tamari, maple syrup, worcestershire sauce and seaweed.

    Step 5: Heat above ingredients in a pot over medium heat stirring occasionally until the miso dissolves.

    Step 6: Add the mushrooms pieces and reduce the heat to a simmer, stirring occasionally for 30 minutes.

    Step 7: Remove from heat and let ingredients marinate for 1 hour continuing to stir occasionally.

    Step 8: Using a slotted spoon remove mushrooms from sauce mix and place on a paper towel lined plate.

    Step 9: Reserve remaining sauce for later.

    Step 10: Sprinkle mushrooms lightly with salt.

    Step 11: Next add sesame oil to a skillet over medium heat.

    Step 12: Add the mushrooms and cook, turning each mushroom to brown each side.

    Step 13: Serve over rice with the remaining sauce.

    Step 14: Trim the remaining seaweed strips with kitchen scissors and serve along side of rice.
