Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mushrooms

    Clean the maitake mushrooms gently with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Cut larger clusters into smaller pieces for even cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Mushrooms

    In a large bowl, toss the maitake mushrooms with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Char the Mushrooms

    Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned maitake mushrooms and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are charred and tender.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Plate

    Once the mushrooms are cooked, remove them from the grill and place them on a serving plate.

  5. 5

    Add Whipped Miso and Yaki Sauce

    Dollop the whipped miso on top of the charred mushrooms and drizzle with yaki sauce.

  6. 6

    Garnish

    Sprinkle sesame seeds over the mushrooms for added texture and flavor.
