Oyster mushrooms are very special mushrooms. They are delicately mild, yet provide a rich savoriness and meatiness that make them a strong candidate for a meat substitute. Or just to have by themselves, like in this simple recipe with our miso butter.
*a quick note on mushrooms - no need to wash them! Mushrooms are like sponges, they absorb everything. If you wash them prior to cooking, you'll end up sweating them in the pan, and they'll be watery and soggy - hence not achieving the glorious caramelization you so desire. If they appear really dirty, you can brush off any extraneous dirt gently with a paper towel.
