- 100g King Oyster Mushrooms

- 1 Dried Shiitake Mushroom (or 1 fresh Shiitake Mushroom)

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the Mushrooms: Clean the King Oyster and Shimeji mushrooms. Slice them into bite-sized pieces (about 1-1.5cm thick) or tear them into smaller shreds. If using dried shiitake, rehydrate them in warm water until softened, then remove the stems and slice. If using fresh shiitake, trim the tough stems and slice.
Step 2
Chop the Aromatics: Finely mince the onion. This will help the sauce become smoother and richer in flavor. Chop the scallions thinly for garnishing.
Step 3
Sear the Mushrooms: Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the prepared mushrooms without any oil and cook until they are golden brown and slightly caramelized. This process concentrates their savory umami flavor. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
Step 4
Start the Miso Sauce: In a pot, combine the minced onion and 1/2 cup of water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until the onions become translucent and tender. This step helps to release the natural sweetness of the onions.
Step 5
Finish the Miso Sauce: Once the onions are tender, stir in 1 tablespoon of miso paste, ensuring it dissolves completely. Let the sauce simmer gently for a moment to meld the flavors. Add the chopped scallions and stir briefly. Remove from heat immediately. Avoid boiling for too long to preserve the delicate aroma of the miso.
Step 6
Assemble the Rice Bowl: Place the warm cooked rice in a serving bowl. Arrange the seared mushrooms attractively on top. Generously spoon the finished miso sauce over the mushrooms and rice. For an extra touch, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds if desired. Enjoy your delicious and healthy mushroom rice bowl!
