Teriyaki Grilled Golden Oyster Mushrooms

For a show-stopping vegan option this summer, look no further than these sweet, smokey and savory grilled mushrooms. The mild Golden Oyster mushrooms are perfect for soaking up a flavorful marinade before crisping up on a hot grill. Tasting is believing!

Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 1 pound RI Mushroom Co. Golden Oyster mushrooms, broken into large pieces

• 2 tablespoons grated garlic (3-4 cloves)

• 1 tablespoon grated ginger (1-inch piece)

• ¼ cup brown sugar

• ¼ cup soy sauce

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

• 1 tablespoons Sriracha (or another fermented hot sauce)

• 1 tablespoon white vinegar

• Non-stick grill spray

• Cilantro leaves or sliced scallions, for garnish

• White sesame seeds, for garnish

• Steamed white rice, for serving (optional)

Directions

1. Prepare RI Mushroom Co Golden Oyster Mushrooms by slicing into large 2-ounce pieces. They will seem large, but they will shrink after marinating and grilling. Set aside.

2. In a gallon sized Ziplock or similar type bag, combine grated garlic, grated ginger, brown sugar, soy sauce, vegetable oil, Sriracha, and white vinegar. Mix well to combine.

3. Place Golden Oyster mushroom pieces in the bag, close the bag with plenty of air, and shake well to evenly coat mushrooms. The mushrooms should shrink immediately. Squeeze out as much air as possible before placing into the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, and up to 24 hours.

4. Preheat the grill on high. Once hot, spray grill grates with nonstick spray and use tongs to place the mushroom pieces onto the hot grill.

5. Cook until lightly charred on the edges and soft in the middle, flipping and cooking on the other side, about 3-4 minutes per side. Use any remaining marinade in the bag to glaze the mushrooms as they cook.

6. Place finished mushrooms on a plate and garnish with chopped cilantro and white sesame seeds, served along with white rice (optional). Enjoy!

   Chef’s Notes:

   • If the Golden Oyster mushrooms are broken up into small pieces already, skewer with small wooden skewers before grilling to prevent falling down below the grates. Alternatively, place a cooling rack upside down for a grill surface so they will not fall through.

   • Adjust the spiciness on the mushrooms by adding more or less Sriracha.
