Braised mushrooms
4 servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | pounds | Portobello, cremini or button mushrooms |
| 1 | tablespoon | Olive oil |
| 1½ | tablespoon | Soy sauce |
| 2 | Scallions, chopped | |
| 1 | tablespoon | Sesame seeds roasted and ground |
Directions
1. Remove and discard the sandy ends of the mushroom stems. Wash the mushrooms under a light spray of cold water. Chop the mushroom caps and stems.
2. Place a wok or large cast-iron skillet over high heat for 1 minute. Add the oil around the sides of the wok or pan, then turn the heat to medium. Add the chopped mushrooms and stir-fry until they give up their juices, about 5 minutes. If the mushrooms are browning too fast, lower the heat.
3. Add the soy sauce. Turn the heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes.
4. Remove wok or skillet from the heat, add the scallions, and stir.
Sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Serve hot.
