Ingredients
Scale
Mushrooms
- 10 king oyster mushrooms (cut in half and scored)
Sauce
- 1 garlic clove
- 1/2 orange (cara cara navel orange)
- 2 tbsp white miso paste
- 2 tbsp tahini
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 2 tsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp tamari
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Toppings
- Flaky sea salt (to taste)
- Chives (to taste)
- Black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat and sear mushrooms: Heat a pan on high for a few minutes, then add olive oil. Place the scored king oyster mushrooms cut side down and sear until slightly golden, about 4 minutes. Lower the heat to medium.
- Add garlic and orange: Grate the garlic clove directly into the pan, squeeze the juice of half an orange over the mushrooms, then cover the pan and cook for 1 minute to infuse flavors.
- Prepare miso sauce: In a bowl, combine tahini, tamari, white miso paste, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and dijon mustard. Whisk in honey and olive oil until smooth and emulsified.
- Glaze mushrooms: Add about 2 tablespoons of the prepared sauce to the pan with mushrooms, stirring gently to help them absorb the flavor.
- Finish and serve: Remove the pan from heat, drizzle the remaining sauce over the mushrooms. Sprinkle flaky sea salt, freshly chopped chives, and ground black pepper to taste before serving.
Notes
- King oyster mushrooms have a meaty texture, making them ideal for this searing method.
- Be careful not to overcook the mushrooms; they should remain tender but slightly firm.
- You can substitute tamari with soy sauce if gluten is not a concern.
- This dish pairs well with steamed rice or as a side to grilled proteins.
- For a vegan variation, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
