Ingredients

1 scallion, thinly sliced

1/3 cup mirin

1/3 cup sake

1/3 cup soy sauce

1/3 cup zarame sugar or raw sugar

4 small king trumpet mushrooms, trimmed, halved lengthwise, cut crosswise into 2" pieces

1 teaspoon vegetable oil

Kosher salt

Eight 6" bamboo skewers, soaked at least 15 minutes

Method

Soak scallion in ice water until crisp, at least 10 minutes. Drain.

Meanwhile, bring mirin, sake, soy sauce, and zarame sugar to a boil in a small saucepan; reduce heat and simmer until slightly reduced, 12–15 minutes. Set tare aside.

Prepare grill for medium heat. Thread 3 mushroom pieces onto each skewer. Brush lightly with oil and season lightly with salt. Grill until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Then cook, brushing with tare and turning occasionally, until glazed and tender, about 2 minutes more. Serve mushrooms topped with scallions.
