Ingredients
  

  • 150 g shimeji mushrooms
  • 1 onion
  • 1 green onion
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp mirin or matsul
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • ½ tbsp sugar
  • ½ tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions
 

  • Bring 3 cups of water to a boil for blanching the mushrooms. While waiting, prepare the other ingredients.
  • Wash the shimeji mushrooms and cut off the root base. Gently separate them into individual stems by hand.
  • Slice the onion into thin half-moon pieces and cut the green onion diagonally into 1 cm pieces.
  • Make the Seasoning Sauce. In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, mirin, minced garlic, sugar, and sesame oil. Stir well and set aside.
  • Once the water is boiling, add the shimeji mushrooms and blanch them for 1 minute. Drain immediately using a sieve and shake off excess water.
  • Transfer the blanched mushrooms to a bowl and mix them with the prepared seasoning sauce. Toss well so they absorb the flavors. Set aside for a few minutes.
  • Heat a pan over medium heat and add vegetable oil. Add the sliced onion and stir-fry until it turns golden brown and caramelized.
  • Once the onion is browned, add the seasoned mushrooms and green onion. Stir-fry everything for about 2 minutes until well combined and heated through.
  • Transfer the stir-fried mushrooms to a plate and enjoy as a side dish with rice!
