Sticky Sesame Mushrooms Baked

Step 1

In a bowl or a baking dish(8.5 by 6 inch or larger stoneware or ceramic dish*), add the mushrooms and add the sesame oil. Toss well to coat.

Step 2

Then sprinkle the cornstarch all over. Toss well and then spread the mushrooms out in the baking dish so they don’t overlap too much.

Step 3

Then bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit(205c)  for 20 minutes until the mushrooms are starting to get golden and shrink a little.

Step 4

Remove the dish from the oven . Some of the mushrooms might get stuck in the bottom. That's fine, they will come off of the bottom when you add the sauce.

Step 5

Add all of the sauce ingredients except the cornstarch and water to the baking dish. Then mix the cornstarch in the water and add that in. Mix really well. While you're mixing the sauce, try to dislodge the mushrooms if any are stuck.

Step 6

Then put it back in the oven to bake for 10-15 minutes or until the sauce is boiling and thickening.

Step 7

Mix well and then remove the dish.

Step 8

Taste and adjust salt and flavor carefully. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions and serve with rice, quinoa or over noodles.
