maitake mushrooms

Maitake mushrooms have feathered edges and an earthy, peppery flavor! Here’s more about this variety and a tasty recipe for how to cook them.

Sauteed Maitake Mushrooms

sesame oil (standard, not toasted)

garlic cloves

tamari or soy sauce

salt

Sriracha (or 1/4 teaspoon rice vinegar)

For the garnish: chopped chives

Wash the mushrooms and pat them dry. Use your fingers to pull them into 3-inch pieces. Mince the garlic.

In a non-stick or cast iron skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium high heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté for 2 minutes. Flip the mushrooms and cook 1 more minute on the other side.

Add the garlic and cook until softened and fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the soy sauce, Sriracha and salt and cook 1 more minute until tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat. Serve immediately as a side garnished with sliced chives or green onion tops, or with soba noodles.

Thanks for the article. It was very informative about maitake mushrooms. I just found 2 big bunches at the foot of one of my oak trees  I wanted to find out what they were , if they were edible, and recipes to try. I'll let you know how they turn out if you are interested. I
live in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains and I understand this is a good area for these mushrooms to grow.

I loved this!  I switched the soy/tamari for coconut aminos so my daughter who has a soy sensitivity could try them.  Whenever I find Maitakes, I will be making this!  Thanks for sharing!

I added corn starch to the mushrooms and air fryed them for 400o for 15 minutes. Then, I followed this recipe. For the last step, I added vegan butter. Yummy! Very good tasting meal! My boyfriend and I loved these mushrooms. We also had kale/rice mix to go along with the mushrooms. Delish!

Yours is the only recipe I’ve ever used or will use. These things are so good you’ll scratch your eyes out!

Thanks!!!! I love mushrooms, especially, fresh ones. I enjoy forging mushrooms.

This classy maitake vegan mushroom jerky has such a fresh taste to it. The crisp white wine with the leeks and that mild hint of curry just works. The exotic flavors will dance in your mouth.
