How to Make Grilled Oriental Salad

Clare Jones: Hi, I am Clare Jones for Mushrooms Canada. Today, I am going to be making a grilled mushroom oriental salad. This is the great salad, it’s warm and you can have it as a side salad or would make a great lunch meal. First of all, I’m going to make the dressing and it’s a really sort of nice zippy oriental dressing. I’ve three tablespoons of soy sauce, which I’m putting into a small saucepan, three tablespoons of vegetable oil, a third of a cup of rice vinegar, two cloves of chopped garlic, one teaspoon of Dijon mustard, a tablespoon of chopped fresh ginger and two chopped green onions. I’m just going to whisk this together and we’re going to be heating it up a little bit later while our mushrooms cook. However here I have a big piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil because we’re going to be grilling these mushrooms on the barbecue. I have a mixture of different mushrooms here, about a pound of sliced mushrooms, I have the white mushrooms, brown crimini mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms and portabella mushrooms, you can use whatever type you happened to have on hand, it’s nice to have the mixture.

With that, I’m going to dress along about three tablespoons of terriachi sauce. Now you want to seal it in a foil package, so make sure you close the foil tightly because the mushrooms are going to steam within the foil package. This is going to go on the barbecue on high heat for between five and six minutes or just until the mushrooms are cooked through. You can also do this in the oven and you do it at 425 degrees Fahrenheit, again for about five to six minutes. While your mushrooms are grilling, just heat the dressing through until it’s boiling. When the mushrooms are done, undo the package and pour them onto about 16 cup of mixed grains. And now you’re ready to add your warm salad dressing, just pour the salad dressing over the top and sprinkle in about a tablespoon of seismic seeds. And there you have your Oriental Grilled Mushroom Salad. Remember, Canadian mushrooms are fresh, simple and good; you can always find storage and handling information and some great recipe ideas at mushrooms.ca.
