Ingredients
Ingredients
- Portobello Mushrooms – fresh large portobello mushrooms found at a local grocery store.
- Miso – awase brown Miso works best.
- Japanese Sake – typically will come in a large bottle labeled junmai sake. Can also substitute with dry sherry wine or Chinese cooking wine, found at local grocery stores or Asian markets.
- Sweetener – use your preferred sweetener.
- Chili Powder – red ground chili pepper used to provide a little spiciness to the dish.
- Green Onion – fresh chopped scallions used as a topping.
🥢 Miso Note
You have three miso paste options: White Miso, which is mild and sweet; Red Miso, known for its robust and salty flavor; and Brown Miso, or Awase Miso, offering a balanced blend of salty, sweet, and umami. We recommend using Awase Miso for this marinade.
Essential Kitchen Equipment
- Silicon Baking Mat or Parchment Paper
Directions
Step 1 Prepare the mushroom by washing it with cold water and removing the stem.
Step 2 Next prepare the marinade by combining miso, Japanese sake, water, sweetener, and chili pepper in a small bowl. Brush the marinade mixture onto the portobello mushrooms and place in a ziplock for 8-12 hours in the fridge.
Step 3 Rinse off any excess marinade sauce from the mushrooms and pat them dry with a paper towel. Place the mushrooms stem side up on a baking sheet and bake them in the oven at 350°F for 10-12 minutes.
🌿 Garnishing Pro Tip
Enhance your dish with a finishing touch of freshly chopped green onions for added flavor and presentation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bake these mushrooms in a toaster oven instead of a regular oven?
Yes, you can bake these mushrooms in a toaster oven instead of a regular oven. In fact, I prefer using a toaster oven because it has shorter preheating times, making it a convenient option for cooking these delicious Portobello mushrooms.
How long should I marinate the Portobello mushrooms for optimal flavor?
For optimal flavor, it's best to marinate the Portobello mushrooms for ideally 8-12 hours. This allows the mushrooms to fully absorb the flavors of the marinade, resulting in a more flavorful and delicious dish.
Can I grill the Portobello mushrooms instead of baking them?
Yes, you can grill the Portobello mushrooms instead of baking them. Simply preheat your grill to 350°F and place the mushrooms on the grill grates under indirect heat. Grill for 10-12 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and cooked through, then serve and enjoy!
Storage Tips
To store, place them in an airtight container and keep in the fridge. They’ll stay fresh for 3-5 days.
