Ingredients

  • 2 or 3 large king oyster mushrooms
  • 2 scallions / green onions, chopped for cooking

For the Sauce

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 tbsp 100% maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp red wine or rice wine vinegar
  • 1½ tsp toasted sesame oil (optional)

Instructions

Marinate

  • Add all ingredients for the sauce in a large, shallow bowl (to marinating the mushrooms),
    whisk to combine
  • To slice the mushrooms, cut them in half lengthwise and slice into small ¼ inch planks and add them to the bowl of sauce as you slice them
  • Marinate the mushrooms for about 15 minutes
    I use this time to put on some rice to go with these mushrooms! Basmati rice or jasmine rice, black rice, really any rice would be delicious.
    Also go ahead and chop the green onion

Cooking the Mushrooms

  • Put a large pan on medium high heat
    Once the pan is hot, add a splash of water and a tablespoon of the chopped green onions and let them green up for a few seconds
  • Add the mushrooms one by one to the hot pan in a single layer, you will have to do two batches unless you have a giant pan
    save the excess marinade for later!
  • Let the mushrooms cook without stirring for about 4-5 minutes, until the bottoms are golden brown
    Flip and continue cooking until both sides are golden and seared.
    Transfer them to a plate.
  • you might have the scrape out any burned up bits in the pan before starting the next batch
    Start the next batch by adding a splash of water and another tablespoon of green onions, stir a few times and add the next batch of mushrooms.
    This batch won't take as long since the pan is way hotter, so keep your eye on them.
  • Once the last batch is looking ready, add all the cooked mushrooms back into the pan, and the excess marinade
    Stir and cook for another minute or two
  • Add your mushrooms over hot rice and garnish with more chopped green onions!
