Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Shiitake mushrooms
- 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 2 pieces Green onions, thinly sliced
- 10 pieces Wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak the wooden skewers in water for 15-20 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.
Clean the shiitake mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Remove the stems, but keep the caps intact.
In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, olive oil, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to create the marinade.
Add the shiitake mushroom caps to the bowl, ensuring they are well-coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a deeper flavor.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat.
Thread the marinated shiitake mushrooms onto the soaked skewers, leaving a small gap between each mushroom for even cooking.
Grill the skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the mushrooms are tender and slightly charred.
Sprinkle the cooked skewers with sesame seeds and garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
Serve warm as an appetizer or pair with rice and vegetables for a complete meal.
