Ingredients
Instructions
-
Prepare the mushrooms by wiping them clean with a damp paper towel and removing any tough stems. If using larger mushrooms, slice them into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
-
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the shoyu, mirin, sugar, ginger slices, and minced garlic. Stir well to dissolve the sugar and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
-
Add the mushrooms to the saucepan, making sure they are all coated in the flavorful liquid. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the mushrooms braise for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
Check the mushrooms for doneness - they should be tender and have absorbed the rich shoyu sauce. If the liquid is too thin, uncover the pan and simmer for a few more minutes to reduce and thicken the sauce.
-
Once the mushrooms are cooked to your liking and the sauce has thickened slightly, remove the pan from the heat. Discard the ginger slices and adjust the seasoning if needed.
-
To serve, transfer the shoyu braised mushrooms to a serving dish and garnish with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds for an added crunch and aroma.
