About this recipe

Looking for an easy, umami-packed dinner that’s ready in 20 minutes? This shiitake mushroom recipe delivers big flavor with minimal effort. Tender, golden sautéed shiitake mushrooms get simmered in a sticky, garlicky glaze made with Kikkoman® Teriyaki Baste & Glaze (No Preservatives Added) and a splash of Kikkoman® Rice Vinegar. Serve it hot over a bowl of fluffy white or brown rice, and you’ve got a plant-forward dish that feels both cozy and restaurant-worthy. Whether you’re exploring how to cook shiitake mushrooms or just need a new meatless Monday favorite, this one hits the spot. 

Tips & Tricks 

  • Want deeper flavor? Let the mushrooms cook undisturbed for a minute or two to get a slight golden sear before adding the sauce.
  • Use brown rice or even quinoa to soak up that sticky sauce. 
  • This base is super flexible – try tossing in spinach or edamame for extra veggies, or add a fried egg on top for a hearty twist. 

ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil 
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
10 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms, stems removed and caps sliced
¼ cup Kikkoman® Teriyaki Baste & Glaze (No Preservatives Added)
2 teaspoons Kikkoman® Rice Vinegar
2 cups cooked white or brown rice 

For Serving
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
1 green onion, thinly sliced 

directions

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring regularly, until mushrooms are tender.
  2. Add teriyaki base and glaze and rice vinegar. Stir well to coat mushrooms. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  3. Spoon the shiitake mushrooms over warm cooked rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onion. Serve hot. 

THE STORY OF SOY SAUCE

Even people who love soy sauce and use it all the time are often surprised to learn what it is and how it’s made. We make ours from just four simple ingredients—water, soybeans, wheat, and salt. Those ingredients are transformed through a traditional brewing process—much like making wine or beer—that has remained unchanged for centuries.
