Grilled King oyster mushroom salad

June 27, 2019 by Ariel Leave a Comment

Don’t get me wrong, I love making sweets.  There’s something really happy about making something full of sugar because you know most people will be happy to eat it and you’ll get the satisfaction of watching them stuffing their faces with something you made with love.  Now, thing is, we can’t really eat sweets all the time (that’s a tragedy if you ask me) so this recipe is coming just at the right time to balance all the sweetness I’ve published on the blog lately.

King oyster mushrooms are one of my favourites because they are super meaty and they look beautiful in a plate.  Paring them with roasted tomatoes (aka: umami bomb – thank you Ivan Ramen for coining the term) and miso, you’ll quickly understand why I decided to post this recipe on here.

Sooooooo…. this sentence is getting redundant but, I really hope you get too try this quick and easy grilled king oyster salad with miso dressing on days where it’s too hot to eat anything to complexed or when you’re just too lazy to break your head in the kitchen.

I always keep roasted Roma tomatoes in the fridge. Not only they are super useful for various dishes like this one, they are umami bombs!! To roast them, slice them in half (cut side up), add a little oil + salt and roast them in a 350-375F oven for 3-4h or until they become much thinner and a little charred. After cooling them down, store your roasted umami bombs in the fridge and TRY to not eat them all in one shot.... trust me, it's hard.
