Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glaze

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sliced shiitake mushrooms, brewed coffee, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Stir well to combine and bring to a simmer.

  2. 2

    Simmer the Sauce

    Let the mixture simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and the glaze has thickened slightly.

  3. 3

    Season and Adjust

    Taste the glaze and season with salt and black pepper according to your preference. If you prefer a sweeter glaze, add more brown sugar.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove from heat and let cool slightly before using. This glaze pairs beautifully with grilled meats, vegetables, or can be used as a dipping sauce.
