Teriyaki Mushroom Pepper Rice with Miso Mayo Sauce

5 from 5 votes

Teriyaki Mushrooms with Pepper Rice and an umami-packed & rich Miso Mayo Sauce! This is an easy one-pan meal inspired by Pepper Lunch’s beef pepper rice. I’ve made other variations of this dish with my own homemade sweet broth sauce but this mix of fresh mushrooms and an umami sauce really takes this dish to a new level.

Ingredients

Miso Mayo Sauce

1 tbsp white miso paste
1 tbsp vegan mayo
1 tbsp warm water
1 tbsp sugar
1/2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp dark soy sauce optional for colour

Mushroom Pepper Rice

11 oz fresh mushroom of choice I used a mix of shiitake, king oyster, brown shimeji
1 tbsp vegan butter
1 tbsp mirin (see notes)
1 tbsp sake (see notes)
1 tbsp soy sauce
1/2-1 tbsp sugar adjust to desired sweetness
1.5 cooked and cooled rice
Lots of freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup cooked corn kernels
Chopped scallions for topping

Instructions

For the sauce, simply mix everything together until well-incorporated. Feel free to adjust to your desired taste.
Slice or break apart your mushrooms.
Heat your pan. I used 9-inch cast iron pan. Over medium heat, melt the vegan butter.
Add in the mushrooms and leave to cook over medium to medium high heat for 3-4 minutes until slightly browned on one side. Flip or mix to brown the rest and allow for any excess moisture to draw out from the mushrooms.
Lower the heat to medium and add the mirin, sake, soy sauce, and sugar. Mix well. This will start to thicken from the sugars and cast the mushrooms.
Afterwards, move the mushrooms to the sides of the pan to create a round opening in the centre to place the rice on.
I simply packed my rice in a large bowl and flipped it over to create a dome shape.
Add lots of freshly ground pepper over the rice and mushrooms. Add the corn kernels, more pepper (if desired), chopped scallions, and then pour in the miso mayo sauce.
Mix everything together and enjoy while hot.

Notes

Mirin and Sake

If you don't have sake, you can double the mirin and start with 1/2 tbsp sugar.

If you don't have mirin, you can double the sake and add more sugar if needed.

You can also opt to skip the mirin, sake, soy sauce, and sugar if you're using store-bought teriyaki sauce. I also have a homemade teriyaki sauce/glaze recipe here.
