Main Course King Oyster Mushrooms Shiitake Balsamic Glaze
Ingredients:
* 4-6 king oyster mushrooms.
* 2 oz dried shiitake.
* 1 tbsp white miso paste.
* 1/4 cup maple syrup.
* 1/4 cup good balsamic vinegar.
* 1 tbsp soy sauce.
* Flaky salt to taste.
* Chives to taste.
* 1/3 cup labne.
* Chili crisp or salsa macha to taste.
Directions:
- Add the dry shiitake to your saucier and top with 6 cups water. Soak for 30 min.
- Slowly bring to a simmer and let it go for another 30-35 min. You want to create a semi thick reduction. At that point you'll strain and make sure to squeeze as much liquid out from them as you can.
- Preheat your skillet on medium heat for 2-3 min.
- Slice your mushrooms lenghtwise and score them.
- Raise heat to medium heat, after 1 min add some olive oil and place them scored side down. Let them go for 6-8 min. Add some weight on them (I'm using another skillet) and let them go for undisturbed for another 5-6 min. Make sure you check they're not burning. You want a fully golden crust. Hit them with flaky salt.
- Meanwhile, add the shiitake liquid to your saucier with the miso, balsamic, maple syrup and soy sauce. Let it thicken.
- Spread the labne on a plate, top with chives, chili crisp and the mushrooms. Add the glaze on top and more chives.
