Oven Roasted Teriyaki Mushrooms

Teriyaki Mushrooms
Everyday, before cooking our meals, I take a look at leftovers. Most days its not much. At times, leftovers are good since I don't have to cook. But health wise, I prefer fresh cooked food. No doubt, some curries taste best the next day. Turns out, today is my lucky day.  All I had to do was to roast some mushrooms.

Ingredients:
Mushrooms - 400 gm
Olive Oil - 3 tbsp
Teriyaki Sauce - 1 tbsp
Soy Sauce - 1 tbsp
Chili Sauce - 1 tbsp
Black Pepper Powder - 1/2 tsp
Red Chili Powder - 1/4 tsp
Green Onions/Scallions - 3
Salt

How to roast Teriyaki Mushrooms in an oven:
  • Wipe the mushrooms with a moist paper towel or a kitchen towel. I have used Button Mushrooms. You can use any other kind. Cut the mushrooms into thick slices.
  • Preheat the oven at 375 degrees F. Grease a big baking tray with cooking spray or oil. 
  • Finely chop green onions. Save some green parts for garnish.
  • In a big mixing bowl, add olive oil, teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, red chilli sauce, fresh ground black pepper, red chili powder and salt. Mix well. 
  • You might not need salt as most Chinese and Thai sauces have salt in them. I have used Thai Sweet Chili Sauce which had garlic, salt and sugar. Based on the sauce you are adding, make sure you add other seasonings.
  • Instead of olive oil, you can use unsalted butter if you like.
Teriyaki Mushrooms
  • Add sliced mushrooms to the bowl and mix well to coat the mushrooms well. Spread the mushrooms evenly on the greased baking tray. Bake for about 10 - 12 minutes. When the mushrooms turn watery, add chopped green onions. Bake for another 7 - 8 minutes or until mushrooms turn brown and all the water dries up. I prefer some moisture, not completely dry.
Garnish Teriyaki Mushrooms with green onions and serve as a side dish. These mushrooms are great as toppings for burgers as well.

Naval Kol Bhaji / Kohlrabi Stir-fry

Green Kohlrabi called as Navalkol in Marathi and Navilkosu in Kannada, belongs to the cabbage family.  My Mom used to make this stir fry very often.  Just like cabbage, this vegetable in available in two colors - green and purple.  I was quite hesitant about the purple one, as I haven't seen that back in India.  Anyway, I picked the green bulbs and Navalkohl Bhaji with Chana Dal was part of our healthy vegetarian meal today.

Indian Dal / Lentils

Lentils, known as Dal are a staple in an Indian diet, especially vegetarian. For me, dal is comfort food. 5 different dal varieties - Toor, Moong, Chana, Masoor and Urad are commonly used in Indian sweet and savory delicacies. You can cook dal with just one kind or a mix of two or more. I generally cook dal with 1:1 Toor and Moong dals. But then, we like Panchmel or Panchratna Dal too, which is made of all five. Most dal recipes have Toor dal as the primary ingredient. It is also known as Toovar or Arhar dal or Split Pigeon Peas . Some of our family favorite dal recipes are Dalitoy (Konkani Dal)  Tadka Dal Among all lentils, moong dal and masoor dal take lesser time to cook. Moong dal is also known as Split Green Gram or Split Mung Bean . Moong dal is also used in making sweet dishes like Mung Dal Kheer  Mung Dal Puranpoli Chana dal is also known as Split Bengal Gram or Split Chickpeas . Chana Dal takes a little more time to cook as compared to toor dal....
