Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Button mushrooms (or cremini mushrooms)
- 4 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 2 tsp Sesame oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp Sriracha (or your favorite hot sauce)
- 1 tsp Cornstarch
- 2 tbsp Water
- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 2 Scallions, sliced (optional garnish)
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds (optional garnish)
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and slice them into thick pieces if they are large, or leave them whole if small.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and Sriracha until well combined.
In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water to create a slurry and set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5–7 minutes until they release their moisture and begin to caramelize.
Pour the teriyaki sauce mixture over the mushrooms and stir to coat evenly.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 2–3 minutes.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet and stir well. Cook for another 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens and clings to the mushrooms.
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish.
Garnish with sliced scallions and sesame seeds, if desired, before serving.
