Time 45m

Yield Serves 4 as a side dish

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 Tbsp. komezu (rice vinegar)
2½ Tbsp. mirin
2 Tbsp. yuzu juice (or substitute lemon juice)
5 Tbsp. shoyu (soy sauce)
6 Tbsp. dashi
16 large fresh shiitake mushrooms, preferably donko
About 3 Tbsp. sake
⅓-½ cup grated daikon
1 yuzu or lemon rind, julienned (for garnish)

Steps:

  • First, make the ponzu dressing. In a small saucepan, combine rice vinegar, mirin, yuzu juice, shoyu, and dashi, and bring them to a boil over medium heat. Turn off the heat, and let the mixture cool. Store ponzu dressing in the refrigerator in a covered container for up to a week.
  • Clean the mushrooms with a moist cotton cloth. Cut away and discard the stems. Heat a broiler or grill.
  • Place the mushroom caps on a broiler pan or grill rack, gill side down if you're using a broiler or gill side up if you're using a grill. Place the pan or rack close to the heat. Cook the mushrooms until the tops of the caps are dry. Turn over the mushrooms, and cook them until the insides become wet with the mushrooms' own juice. If you're using a grill, turn over the mushrooms again. Spoon ½ teaspoon sake into each cap. Cook the mushrooms until the sake is bubbling.
  • Serve the mushrooms garnished with grated daikon and yuzu or lemon rind strips, and accompanied with ponzu dressing on the side.

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds baby bok choy
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 small dry red Chinese hot peppers

Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Cut off and discard stem ends of bok choy. Separate leaves, rinse and drain.

Stir-fry for 2 minutes. Reduce heat slightly and add garlic, ginger, sugar, sesame oil and tamari. Stir-fry for 1 minute more.
  • Spoon shiitake and pan juices over reserved cooked bok choy. Serve at room temperature, or if you prefer, reheat covered with foil for 10 to 15 minutes in a hot oven. Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds, if using.

Tips:

  • Choose the right shiitake mushrooms. Look for large, meaty shiitake mushrooms with a deep brown color. Avoid mushrooms that are cracked or slimy.
  • Clean the mushrooms thoroughly. Use a damp cloth to wipe away any dirt or debris from the mushrooms. Do not wash the mushrooms under running water, as this can make them waterlogged.
  • Remove the stems. The stems of shiitake mushrooms are tough and fibrous, so they should be removed before cooking. Use a sharp knife to cut off the stems at the base of the mushrooms.
  • Marinate the mushrooms. Marinating the mushrooms in a mixture of soy sauce, sake, and mirin helps to tenderize them and add flavor. You can also add other ingredients to the marinade, such as garlic, ginger, or green onions.
  • Grill the mushrooms over high heat. This will help to create a nice char on the outside of the mushrooms while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
  • Serve the mushrooms immediately. Grilled shiitake mushrooms are best served hot off the grill. You can serve them as an appetizer, side dish, or main course.

Conclusion:

Grilled shiitake mushrooms are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They are a good source of protein, fiber, and antioxidants, and they are also low in calories. Whether you are serving them as an appetizer, side dish, or main course, grilled shiitake mushrooms are sure to be a hit.
