Ingredients
- Cremini (baby bella) mushrooms
- Button mushrooms
- Shiitake mushrooms
- Unsalted butter
- Fresh garlic
- Low-sodium soy sauce
- Honey or maple syrup or brown sugar
- Rice vinegar
- Toasted sesame seeds (optional)
- Sliced green onions (optional)
- Toasted sesame oil (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Mushrooms: First, ensure your mushrooms are clean. Gently wipe the cremini mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Slice them into uniform, bite-sized pieces, about ¼ to ½ inch thick.
- Melt the Butter and Sauté Garlic: In a large skillet over medium heat, add unsalted butter and let it melt completely. Once shimmering, add minced fresh garlic and sauté for about 30-60 seconds until fragrant.
- Cook the Mushrooms: Increase heat to medium-high and add the sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are beautifully browned and tender.
- Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together low-sodium soy sauce, your chosen sweetener, and optional rice vinegar until the sweetener is fully dissolved.
- Glaze the Mushrooms: Pour the prepared glaze over the mushrooms in the skillet. Stir gently to coat and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the glaze thickens.
- Finish and Serve: Remove from heat, taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve immediately.
