Our family's go-to recipe for unbelievably delicious pan-fried shiitake mushrooms. We stuff shiitake mushrooms with fluffy 'hanpen' (fish cake), coat them in egg, and pan-fry them to a fragrant crisp. They're also delicious cold, making them perfect for bento boxes or as a snack. This is a simple and budget-friendly Japanese dish.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients (2 servings)
- Small Shiitake Mushrooms: 10 pcs
- Hanpen (Fish Cake): 1 pc (100g)
- Cake Flour: 2 tsp (for dusting shiitake)
- Chopped Pickled Ginger: 1 tbsp
- Green Onion: 1 stalk
- Beaten Egg
- Cake Flour: 2 tsp (for hanpen filling)
Seasonings
- [A] Mayonnaise: 2 tsp
- [A] Salt and Pepper: to taste
- Vegetable Oil: as needed
Steps
- Trim the stems off 10 small shiitake mushrooms and make cross-shaped cuts on the surface of the caps.
- Place the shiitake mushrooms in a cooking bag, add 2 tsp of cake flour, close the bag, and shake to coat the shiitake evenly with flour.
- Mash 1 pc (100g) of hanpen inside the bag until it becomes a paste.
- Add 2 tsp of mayonnaise, 2 tsp of cake flour, salt and pepper to taste, 1 tbsp of chopped pickled ginger, and the finely chopped 1 stalk of green onion, along with the finely chopped shiitake stems, to the bag with the hanpen paste. Mix everything together by kneading.
- Gently press the mixed hanpen filling into the hollow part on the underside of the floured shiitake mushrooms with a spoon, creating a slight mound.
- Lightly dust the side with the filling with cake flour.
- Heat vegetable oil as needed in a frying pan over medium heat.
- Dip the shiitake mushrooms into the beaten egg.
- Place the shiitake mushrooms in the pan with the cut side facing up and cook over medium heat until golden brown. Key Tip: Frying the cut side first will set the egg and hide the cuts. By frying the hanpen side first, you achieve a more visually appealing result.
- Once browned, flip the shiitake mushrooms and cook the other side until golden brown.
- Dip the mushrooms again in the remaining beaten egg and cook to use up all the egg.
- Once both sides are golden brown, transfer to a plate. Serve and enjoy!
