Salad Ingredients- 5 fresh shiitake mushrooms
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by thoroughly washing the 5 fresh shiitake mushrooms. Gently pat them dry, and trim off the tough ends of the stems if necessary. Next, thinly slice the shiitake mushrooms into strips, about 0.5 cm thick. Slicing them thinly will ensure a tender texture and allow the dressing to penetrate beautifully.
Step 2
Now, let’s prepare the delicious yuzu soy dressing. In a small bowl, combine 1 Tbsp of soy sauce, 1 Tbsp of whole grain mustard, 1 Tbsp of sugar, and 1 Tbsp of yuzu marmalade (make sure to remove any seeds). Whisk these ingredients together until the sugar is completely dissolved, creating a balanced blend of savory, sweet, and tangy flavors.
Step 3
It’s time to gently cook the shiitake mushrooms to enhance their natural aroma. Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms directly to the dry pan – no oil needed yet. As the mushrooms begin to release their moisture and soften, season them with 2 pinches of salt and 2 pinches of freshly ground black pepper. Stir and cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until the mushrooms are lightly golden and their fragrance intensifies. Be careful not to burn them.
Step 4
Transfer the beautifully sautéed shiitake mushrooms to your serving dish. The warmth from the cooked mushrooms will add a wonderful depth of flavor to the salad.
Step 5
Finally, drizzle the prepared refreshing yuzu soy dressing generously over the warm shiitake mushrooms. Gently toss to ensure the mushrooms are well coated with the dressing. Your aromatic and vibrant shiitake mushroom salad is now ready to be enjoyed. Savor it immediately while it’s still warm for the best experience!
