Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Shiitake Mushrooms 4-5 pieces
  • Cilantro (Coriander) to taste
  • Hard Cheese to taste

Seasonings

  • White Sesame Oil 1 tsp
  • Salt a pinch
  • Butter 2 tsp
  • Soy Sauce a dash
  • Black Pepper to taste

Steps

  1. Slice the shiitake mushrooms into 5mm thick pieces.
  2. Heat 1 tsp of white sesame oil in a frying pan and spread it evenly.
  3. Arrange the shiitake mushrooms in the pan without overlapping, and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Cook slowly over medium-low heat. (The Key!): Cooking out the moisture from the shiitake mushrooms will concentrate their flavor. If they start to puff up, gently press them down with a spatula.
  4. Once one side of the shiitake mushrooms is nicely browned, flip them over and add 2 tsp of butter.
  5. Reduce the heat and swirl the pan while cooking until the butter turns light brown and the bubbling subsides. (The Key!): Adding butter from the beginning can cause it to burn easily. By adding it later and browning it, you bring out its fragrant aroma.
  6. When the butter turns light brown, remove from heat and drizzle in a dash of soy sauce.
  7. Sprinkle with cilantro to taste and immediately remove from heat.
  8. Arrange on a plate.
  9. Sprinkle with black pepper to taste.
  10. Grate hard cheese to taste over the top and serve. Completed.
