Broiled Portobello Sushi with Soy Glaze
- 3/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons sake
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 garlic clove, smashed
- 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and minced
- 3 small portobello mushrooms, cut on the bias in 1/2-inch slices
- 1 1/2 cups prepared sushi rice (page 80)
- 1 sheet nori seaweed, halved and cut in 1/2-inch strips
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted (see Note, page 34)
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- In a small pot, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, sake, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger over low heat.
- Swirl the pot around occasionally and cook for about 8 minutes, or until thickened.
- Lay the mushroom slices in a single layer on a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil.
- Brush the portobello mushroom slices with the soy glaze.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the mushrooms brown and shrink slightly.
- Dab your fingers in a little water and grab about 2 tablespoons of sushi rice.
- Gently squeeze it into your palm to make it a compact mound.
- Put a portobello slice on top of that and wrap it with a band of nori, moistening the ends to seal.
- Garnish with the sesame seeds.
