teriyaki mushrooms with edamame

Oyster mushrooms and teriyaki sauce are a match made in heaven for sure! Crunchy sesame seeds and flavourful spring onion slices give this dish a boost of savour and freshness. A bit sweet, a bit spicy, with a captivating soy sauce aroma, this meal is perfect with a nice serving of jasmine rice and some slightly salted edamame pods.

I discovered oyster mushrooms last year and since then I used them a lot in my cooking, but this recipe has to be my favourite! They have a more firm and meatier texture than the common champignon mushrooms and their flavour is amazing. They need a bit more time when it comes to cooking, but this recipe is easy to make and doesn’t require too much effort.

The cooking technique, which also gives the name of the teriyaki sauce, comes from Asian cuisine. It consists of covering the ingredients in a luscious soy sauce glaze. This teriyaki sauce is easy to make, you only need a handful of ingredients: soy sauce, brown sugar, white vinegar and some spices. It’s delicious in a lot of dishes, from stir-frys to marinated tofu to oyster mushrooms, of course!

  4. Meanwhile prepare the teriyaki sauce, mixing all the ingredients in a small bowl.

  5. When the mushrooms are cooked, add the teriyaki sauce and stir occasionally for another 5 minutes.
