About

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.
