This soy-glazed shiitake mushrooms recipe is a fantastic way to transform dried store-cupboard staples into a deeply savoury vegan side dish. By simmering the mushrooms in a mix of reduced-sodium soy sauce and a hint of sugar, they rehydrate while absorbing a concentrated umami glaze. The result is a chewy, meaty texture that works beautifully as a topping for steamed rice, or as a punchy addition to a stir-fry or noodle bowl.

Rich in earthy forest flavours, this simple preparation highlights how effectively dried mushrooms can provide a satisfying plant-based alternative to meat. The final flourish of toasted sesame seeds and cracked black pepper adds a delicate crunch and warmth to the dish. Serve these mushrooms warm or at room temperature for a versatile, healthy accompaniment to your favourite Asian-inspired meals.

How to make Soy-Glazed Shiitake Mushrooms

Bring 725ml dried shiitake mushrooms (about 90g ), 80ml reduced-sodium soy sauce, 1 tablespoon raw or brown sugar, and 240ml water to a boil in a small saucepan. Cover pan; reduce heat to medium-low.
