This recipe is simple and delicious as-is. The subtle sweetness that the maple offers to the mushroom marinade is to die for. Whether in the oven or on the stove, these babies are delicious, taking on the flavor of whichever marinade you send their way!
Ingredients
1 pound Fat Moon Shiitake Mushrooms, stems removed
1/4 cup Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Pure Maple Syrup
1/2 tsp Soy Sauce
Salt and Pepper, to taste
Directions
Combine olive oil, maple syrup, and soy sauce in a small bowl
Slice the mushroom caps thinly into strips about 1/4 inch thick.
Toss the mushrooms with liquid in the bowl, making more liquid as needed, as the mushrooms absorb a lot.
Let sit for 5-10 minutes.
Stove Method
Toss the mushrooms in a nonstick pan over medium heat for about 10 minutes or until desired crispness.
Oven Method
Place mushroom slices on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Then, place in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 10 minutes or until desired level of crispness is achieved.
Recipe Note
I found that when cooked on the stove, the mushrooms retained their moisture, texture and "mushroomy" taste more so than when cooked in the oven. If you prefer a dryer "bacon", I think the oven may be the preferred option.
