1
Prepare the Mushrooms
Clean the maitake mushrooms gently with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Avoid soaking them in water as they can absorb moisture.
2
Heat the Grill or Pan
Preheat a grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and let it heat up.
3
Char the Mushrooms
Place the maitake mushrooms in the hot pan or grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and charred, making sure to turn them carefully.
4
Season the Mushrooms
Sprinkle the cooked mushrooms with Sichimi Togarashi and salt to taste. Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the top for added flavor.
5
Serve
Transfer the charred maitake mushrooms to a serving platter and garnish with lemon wedges if desired.
