Soy‑Glazed Mushrooms

Print Recipe

Soy-Glazed Mushrooms are a savory and umami-rich side dish made with tender sautéed mushrooms coated in a glossy soy-based glaze, perfect as a topping or accompaniment to rice, noodles, or grilled dishes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb mushrooms (such as cremini or button), cleaned and halved or sliced
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil or sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp mirin or rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tsp water (optional, for thickening)
  • 1 tbsp chopped green onions or chives (for garnish)
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add mushrooms and sauté for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release moisture and begin to brown.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mirin, honey, ginger, and garlic.
  4. Pour the sauce over the mushrooms and stir to coat. Let simmer for 2–3 minutes.
  5. If using, stir in cornstarch slurry and cook for another 1–2 minutes until the glaze thickens.
  6. Remove from heat. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • Use a mix of mushrooms (shiitake, oyster, etc.) for deeper flavor and texture.
  • Adjust sweetness and saltiness to taste by modifying the amount of honey or soy sauce.
  • Great as a topping for rice bowls, grilled meats, or tofu.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
