Mushroom salad ingredients.
  • Mushrooms: They are rich in umami flavors. This recipe uses shiitake and maitake, but you can use any variety you like. Shimeji, enoki, or button mushrooms also work well, depending on what’s available.
  • Garlic: Use fresh garlic for the best aroma. Thinly slice so it cooks evenly without burning.
  • Chili Pepper: A small dried chili adds a gentle heat.
  • Herbs: Dried oregano and rosemary bring a fragrant, savory touch. Fresh herbs can also be used if preferred.
  • Green Vegetables: Crisp lettuce and fresh sprouts are an excellent choice for this salad.

Recipe Tips

  • Generally, mushrooms do not need to be washed, as they absorb water easily. Instead, gently wipe off any dirt with a paper towel.
  • Since mushrooms soak up oil easily, start by cooking them in a dry pan until they develop a golden color.

What To Serve With

This mushroom salad is savory and flavorful, making it a perfect match for eggplant pasta with a simple tomato sauce, served alongside a cozy bowl of wakame miso soup.
