Best Asian Mushroom Broth Recipes

MUSHROOM BROTH

Mushroom Broth image

When I am transforming a meat dish into vegetarian, there are certain shortcuts I know: I can use Quorn® or TVP for chicken, and vegetable stock for chicken stock. And, I can use organic mushrooms in place of stewing beef. But for a long time, I didn't have a replacement for beef stock. Sure, I could use vegetable stock, but it wasn't earthy enough, it was too light. So, I invented the stock below for a rich earthy stock for vegan use!

Categories side-dish

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 (2-inch piece) fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
2 quarts reduced-sodium chicken broth
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons fish sauce, optional
2 portobello mushrooms, caps peeled, cleaned and thinly sliced
5-ounces cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
10 small shiitake mushrooms, cleaned and left whole
Outer leaves of 1 small Napa cabbage or 1/2 large cabbage, leaves roughly torn
2 carrots, peeled, cut in 1/2 lengthwise then in 1/2 crosswise, and very thinly sliced
2 good handfuls snow peas
1 small bunch scallions, thinly sliced
Dark sesame oil

Steps:

Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat and cook the garlic and ginger until browned. Combine the broth, soy sauce, and fish sauce, if using, to the saucepan and bring to a simmer. Add the remaining ingredients except the snow peas, scallions, and sesame oil. Simmer for 20 minutes, and then add the snow peas. Cook for just a few minutes longer, until the snow peas have softened but are still bright green. Add the scallions to the saucepan, remove from heat, and ladle into serving bowls. Drizzle a bit of sesame oil over the top of each serving.
