Japanese Baked Mitake is a traditional Japanese recipe for a dish of mitake (hen of the woods fungus) flavoured with Japanese seven spice and oven baked in a foil parcel. The full recipe is presented here and I hope you enjoy this classic Japanese version of: Japanese Baked Mitake.
Wash the whole mitake mushroom well. Take a large sheet of aluminium foil and fold in half. Form into a cup shape, place the spring onions in the base then sit the mitake mushrooms on top. Drizzle the groundnut oil over the fungus then scatter the seven-spice powder over the top.
Add the rice wine vinegar then fold the foil into a secure parcel. Transfer to an oven pre-heated to 160°C and bake for about 80 minutes, or until the fungus is soft and cooked through.
Serve as a part of any Japanese meal. Or with rice and Tuna Ceviche.
