King Trumpet Yakitori

This king trumpet yakitori is a sophisticated vegan take on the classic Japanese street food traditionally made with chicken. King trumpet mushrooms are the perfect plant-based substitute, prized for their meaty, firm texture and ability to absorb rich, savoury flavours. Skewered and charred to perfection, they offer a satisfying bite that pairs beautifully with a homemade tare glaze.

As a versatile vegan starter or part of a larger Japanese-inspired spread, these skewers are both healthy and effortless to prepare. The combination of salty soy, sweet sugar and the sharp crunch of chilled spring onions creates a balanced profile that will appeal to vegans and meat-eaters alike. Serve them hot from the grill for an impressive light lunch or dinner party appetiser.

Ingredients for King Trumpet Yakitori

  • 1 spring onion, thinly sliced

  • 80ml mirin

  • 80ml sake

  • 80ml soy sauce

  • 80ml zarame sugar or raw sugar

  • 4 small king trumpet mushrooms, trimmed, halved lengthwise, cut crosswise into 2" pieces

  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil

  • Kosher salt

  • Eight 6" bamboo skewers, soaked at least 15 minutes

How to make King Trumpet Yakitori

Soak spring onion in ice water until crisp, at least 10 minutes. Drain.

Meanwhile, bring mirin, sake, soy sauce, and zarame sugar to a boil in a small saucepan; reduce heat and simmer until slightly reduced, 12–15 minutes. Set tare aside.

Prepare grill for medium heat. Thread 3 mushroom pieces onto each skewer. Brush lightly with oil and season lightly with salt. Grill until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Then cook, brushing with tare and turning occasionally, until glazed and tender, about 2 minutes more. Serve mushrooms topped with spring onions.
