Ingredients
Method
- Thinly slice the mushroom. Heat the oil in a wok or frying pan, add the mushrooms and cook for a couple of minutes. Add the half of the sesame seeds, let them spatter, then then add the soy and mirin. Let the sauce bubble to reduce.
- Meanwhile, finely slice the onions and radishes. Scatter the mixed leaves onto two plates.
- The mushrooms should be cooked by now and slightly sticky. Add them to the salad leaves, then arrange the radish and onion pieces on top.
- Drizzle with the sesame oil and vinegar, then scatter the remaining sesame seeds all over the salad.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
