Best 7 Shiitake Miso Gravy Recipes

HEARTY SHIITAKE MUSHROOM AND MISO SOUP

Steps:

• In a large soup pot over medium heat add the scallion white parts, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil. Cook for 1 minute and add 8 cups water. Rinse the kombu and add it to the pot along with the bonito flakes. Bring it to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes - do not let it boil. Remove the kombu and set it aside. Add the dried mushrooms and miso to the pot and let it simmer gently for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the mushrooms are hydrated and tender. Add the bok choy and simmer until it is tender, about 10 minutes. Add the tofu and cook for another 5 minutes. Ladle into bowls and garnish with the reserved green parts of scallions.

MISO SOUP WITH SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Bring the vegetable broth to a boil in a saucepan. Add the mushrooms, reduce heat to low, and simmer 4 minutes. Stir the miso paste and soy sauce together in a small bowl; add to the broth along with the tofu and continue cooking for 1 minute more. Pour the soup into bowls and top with the green onions to serve.

SHIITAKE MISO BROTH WITH NOODLES AND CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Put the mushrooms in a bowl and pour the boiling water over them. Let soak until tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Lift the mushrooms from the water, leaving any grit at the bottom of the bowl. Pat the mushrooms dry with a kitchen towel, discard the stems and thinly slice the caps. Strain the mushroom soaking liquid through a fine sieve and reserve it in a small bowl.
• Sprinkle the chicken thighs liberally with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large high-sided skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Sear the chicken thighs on both sides until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes total. (You may need to do this in 2 batches to avoid crowding the skillet.) Transfer the browned chicken thighs to a rimmed baking sheet and bake in the oven until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 160 degrees F, 12 to 15 minutes.
• In the same pan that you seared the chicken thighs, saute the garlic, ginger, onions and sliced mushrooms over medium heat until the onions are soft, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the miso paste and cook for 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth and reserved mushroom liquid. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, soak the noodles in a bowl of hot water until soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain.
• To serve, put 1/2 cup glass noodles in each serving bowl. Top with the bok choy, chicken and miso broth.

TEMPEH AND GREEN BEANS WITH SHIITAKE-MISO GRAVY

Steps:

• Prepare the gravy, cover, and set aside.
• Cut the tempeh into 1/4-inch-thick slices crosswise, then cut these in half lengthwise to get narrow strips.
• Heat the oil and soy sauce slowly in a skillet, then add the tempeh strips and stir gently to coat. Sauté over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Gently stir in the green beans and bell pepper and turn the heat to medium-high. Continue to sauté, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes longer.
• Stir in the gravy, top with almonds if desired, and serve at once.
• Menu Suggestions
• To make this dish, you have two recipes to follow (the dish itself and the gravy), so give yourself a break and complete the meal with no further recipes. Serve this over brown rice, quinoa, couscous, or noodles; add a platter of sliced oranges, tomatoes, and pineapple chunks.

MISO-RUBBED TURKEY WITH TURKEY GRAVY

Steps:

• Peel and chop 1 onion quarter, then pulse in a food processor until finely chopped. Add miso and purée until smooth. Add 1/2 stick softened butter and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and purée until combined (mixture will appear curdled).
• Put oven rack in lowest position and preheat oven to 350°F.
• Rinse turkey inside and out, then pat dry. Working from large cavity end, gently run your fingers between skin and meat of breast to loosen skin, being careful not to tear skin. Push miso butter under skin, including thighs and drumsticks, and massage skin from outside to spread miso evenly. Sprinkle large cavity with salt and remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Fold neck skin under body and secure with metal picks or skewers, then stuff large cavity with remaining 3 onion quarters. Tie drumsticks together with string and tuck wings under body.
• Put turkey on rack in roasting pan and roast 30 minutes.
• Melt remaining 1/2 stick softened butter and brush over turkey, then add water (1 cup) to roasting pan. Tent turkey with foil and roast, basting every 30 minutes and adding more water to pan if necessary, until thermometer inserted into fleshy part of a thigh (do not touch bone) registers 170°F, 2 to 2 1/2 hours more (total roasting time: 2 1/2 to 3 hours). Remove foil for last 30 minutes of roasting if turkey is pale. Transfer turkey to a platter (reserve roasting pan) and let stand, loosely covered, 25 minutes (temperature will rise to 180°F while turkey stands). Remove picks from turkey.
• Pour pan juices through a fine-mesh sieve into a 2-quart glass measure, then skim off and reserve fat. (If there is less than 1/2 cup fat, add enough melted butter to total 1/2 cup.) Pour pan juices and 8 cups turkey stock into a 3-quart saucepan and bring to a simmer. Straddle roasting pan across 2 burners, then add remaining cup turkey stock and deglaze roasting pan by boiling over moderately high heat, stirring and scraping up brown bits, 1 minute. Pour through sieve into remaining stock and bring to a simmer.
• Cook flour and 1/2 cup reserved fat in a 4-quart heavy pot over moderately low heat, whisking, 5 minutes. Add hot stock mixture in a fast stream, whisking constantly to prevent lumps, then simmer, whisking occasionally, until gravy is thickened, about 10 minutes. Stir in any turkey juices accumulated on platter and season gravy with salt and pepper.

SHIITAKE-MISO GRAVY

Steps:

• Warm up the broth and then add in the dried shiitake mushrooms. Leave to sit and the mushrooms reconstitute. (For me this takes about 10-15 mins). Once ready, take them out and chop or slice them, saving the broth.
• In a saucepan warm up the oil and lightly saute the garlic for about a minute being careful not to burn it. Whisk in the flour to make a roux, let that cook for about a minute and then slowly whisk in the broth.
• Allow the gravy to come to a boil and then reduce heat to a low simmer.
• Stir in the miso paste until smooth and then add in the mushrooms, nutmeg and cayenne if using. Adjust seasoning to taste with S&P. By now the gravy should be thickened.
• If you enjoy the texture of the mushrooms then you can go ahead and serve as is. I like the flavour but not the texture, so I strain them out. All depending on how long you leave the gravy you may need to add a few extra tbsp of broth to thin it out a bit.
