Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 pound large button mushrooms

2 teaspoons salt

SAUCE:

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 tablespoon dark soy sauce

1 tablespoon sake, rice wine, or dry sherry

2 teaspoons sugar

2 tablespoons finely chopped scallions

 

This recipe is of Japanese origin, simple but unusual and quite delicious. it

offers a different way to enjoy fresh mushrooms and is a perfect side dish to

enliven a barbecue or as an accompaniment to grilled meats or poultry. The

mushrooms may also be cooked using your oven broiler, so the dish may be savored

indoors during the winter as well, missing only the smoky barbecue flavor. For

an authentic taste, try to obtain Japanese sake for the sauce; if it cannot be

had, rice wine or dry sherry are acceptable substitutes. The lemon sauce may be

made beforehand.

 

Sprinkle the mushrooms with the salt and mix well. Put the mushrooms into a

colander and let drain for 20 minutes. When the mushrooms have drained, rinse

them in water and blot dry with paper towel.

 

Heat the sauce ingredients together in a small saucepan until the sugar

dissolves. Let cool.

 

Soak some wooden skewers in cold water for 5 minutes. Thread 3 or 4 mushrooms on

each skewer and cook under a broiler or on a barbecue. When they are cooked,

remove from the skewers, mix them with the sauce and serve.
