How to Make Japanese Style Marinated Mushroom Salad

  1. **Marinate the Mushrooms:** In a glass or ceramic bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon mirin, 1 tablespoon peanut oil, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon grated ginger.
  2. Add 250g (8oz) sliced mushrooms to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 3 hours (or up to overnight) to allow the flavors to fully develop.
  4. **Prepare the Salad:** While mushrooms marinate, prepare 1 cup of Asian greens (e.g., bok choy, or baby spinach), 1/2 cucumber (thinly sliced), and 1/2 capsicum (thinly sliced).
  5. **Combine and Serve:** Gently toss the marinated mushrooms, Asian greens, cucumber, and capsicum in a large bowl.
  6. Serve immediately as a delicious accompaniment to grilled lamb, beef, chicken, or your favorite protein.
