    Serves 4

Ingredients

For teriyaki marinade

1/3 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons mirin* (sweet Japanese rice wine) or medium-dry Sherry
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons minced peeled fresh gingerroot
2 tablespoons sugar
4 fresh Portobello mushrooms (about 1/4 pound each), stems trimmed flush with caps and reserved for another use

For slaw

2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoons Asian sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon honey
2 cups finely shredded Napa cabbage
1/2 cup finely shredded carrot
2 scallions, chopped fine
vegetable oil for brushing mushroom caps
4 sesame-seed hamburger buns, split and toasted lightly
*available at most Asian markets, specialty foods shops, and some supermarkets

Preparation

  1. Make teriyaki marinade:

    Step 1

    In a small saucepan simmer marinade ingredients, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Continue simmering marinade until reduced to about 1/2 cup and cool to room temperature.

    Step 2

    Put mushroom caps and marinade in a large sealable plastic bag, arranging caps in one layer, and seal bag, pressing out excess air. Marinate mushrooms at room temperature, turning bag over several times, 1 hour.

  2. Make slaw:

    Step 3

    In a bowl whisk together mayonnaise, vinegar, oil, and honey and add cabbage, carrot, and scallions. Toss vegetables well to coat and season with salt and pepper.

  3. Step 4

    Preheat broiler.

    Step 5

    Drain mushrooms and arrange, stemmed sides up, on lightly oiled rack of a broiler pan. Broil mushrooms 2 inches from heat and turn over. Brush mushrooms lightly with oil and broil 3 minutes, or until tender. Transfer mushrooms with a slotted spatula to hamburger bun bottoms. Top mushrooms with slaw and bun tops.
