Ingredients

Servings:4
  • 12 pieces Fresh shiitake mushrooms (large)
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Mirin
  • 1 tablespoon Sake
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Toasted sesame seeds(optional)
  • 4 pieces Bamboo skewers

Instructions

  1. 1

    Soak the bamboo skewers in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.

  2. 2

    Clean the shiitake mushrooms with a damp paper towel and remove the tough stems.

  3. 3

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat and whisk in the soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar until the sugar dissolves.

  4. 4

    Thread 3 shiitake mushrooms onto each skewer, piercing through the center of the caps.

  5. 5

    Lightly brush a grill pan or outdoor grill with vegetable oil and heat to medium-high.

  6. 6

    Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 3 minutes per side until the mushrooms soften and develop grill marks.

  7. 7

    Generously brush the butter-soy glaze over the mushrooms during the last 2 minutes of cooking, turning frequently to caramelize without burning.

  8. 8

    Remove from heat, drizzle with any remaining glaze, and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds before serving.
