Ingredients

• 200 g Shiitake mushrooms
• 4 stalks Scallions (green onions)
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Sesame oil
• 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 1 tsp Honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
• 1 tsp Sesame seeds
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Clean the shiitake mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Remove and discard the tough stems, and slice the caps into thin strips.

Step 2

Wash the scallions and pat them dry. Cut the white and light green parts into 1-inch pieces, and slice the green tops thinly for garnish.

Step 3

Peel and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, and honey (or maple syrup). Set aside.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic to the hot oil and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 7

Toss in the sliced shiitake mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms are tender and lightly browned.

Step 8

Add the scallion whites and light greens to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften slightly.

Step 9

Pour the soy sauce mixture over the mushrooms and scallions, and toss to coat evenly. Allow it to cook for 1-2 minutes, letting the sauce thicken slightly.

Step 10

Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and the sliced scallion greens for garnish.

Step 11

Serve immediately as a side dish or over steamed rice for a simple meal.
