Recipe Notes

The consistency of the sauce sometimes depends on the type of mushrooms. To make the sauce thicker, you can add a little potato or corn starch diluted in water.
You can also place the tofu steak on a bowl of rice, making donburi.

Yes.😋 King oyster mushrooms also work in this recipe.🍄 They are big so you can slice them. Bet they will absorb the flavor of the sauce well!👌

Might be a bit too big, but what do you think of king oyster mushroom (king trumpet mushroom) in this dish? Shimeji are probably the preferred, and there is no way I’m passing on the enoki. However the King trumped might add a bit more… Firmness? Fullness? They lack as much individual flavor compared to the shimeji, but I feel like they would absorb the flavor of the sauce well.

This was absolutely delicious. It was easy to make and my young children loved it! I added a cornstarch slurry and added more soy/mirin to make more sauce. Thank you for the wonderful recipe!
