Mushrooms

Brown Sauce

Method

Prepare the Mushrooms

  1. 1

    Clean and Slice the Mushrooms

    Clean the Cremini, Shiitake, and Button mushrooms with a damp cloth. Remove the stems if necessary and slice them into even pieces.

Make the Brown Sauce

  1. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and finely chopped shallots, cooking until they become fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

  2. 3

    Cook the Mushrooms

    Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and have released their moisture.

  3. 4

    Add the Liquids

    Pour in the soy sauce, vegetable broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

  4. 5

    Thicken the Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a little cold water to create a slurry. Gradually add this to the mushroom mixture, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.

  5. 6

    Season the Sauce

    Season the sauce with black pepper and salt to taste. Adjust the seasoning as necessary.

Serve the Dish

  1. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the mushrooms and sauce. Serve warm as a side dish or over rice/noodles.
