Totes perfect, I'm telling you.

Also, it's vegetarian and cooks in 10 minutes and is DEEEEELICIOUS.

Promise. 

I love Asian-style meals with lots of veggies and a super flavorful protein like this grilled tofu, and this side dish is great with ANY components of a meal like that. 

You need oyster mushrooms (one package is enough for two people plus leftovers), lots of scallions, miso, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and butter.  The butter is sort of key but....if you want to make this vegan you can substitute a cooking oil of your choice.  Messy Ingredients

First, make the sauce.  Combine the miso paste, soy sauce, and rice vinegar in a bowl. Add vinegar to miso

Then stir it together with a fork or small whisk!  The sauce is really salty, so you don't need a lot - it more acts like a coating on the outside of the veggies. Mix together sauce

Now, while a large skillet preheats with the butter, prep the veggies.  Separate the mushrooms into bite-sized sections, and slice the scallions thickly.  Slice onion whites

Separate the whites and greens - ½ inch slices or so should do it!Slice onion greens

When the skillet is hot and the butter is foamy, add the mushrooms in a single layer and LET THEM SIT.  Mushrooms browned in butter are super duper delicious, and the brown happens when they have a minute or two to sit in the butter. Start mushrooms in butter

After 2 minutes, flip the mushrooms and add the whites of the onions.  Stir them together for one more minute.  We want the onions to slightly soften but not cook the mushrooms to death - they're really delicate and cook quickly. Add whites to toasted mushrooms

Finally, add the miso sauce and the onion greens.  Stir everything together and turn the heat off- the almost sweetness of the mushrooms with the sharp nearly-raw scallion is the contrast we're looking for, and we lose that if the scallions overcook. Add sauce and scallion greens very last

That's it!  A REALLY easy side dish that is incredibly delicious with any Asian-style meal.  You can of course use any mushrooms you like, or add other veg like thin green beans - vary the recipe according to your tastes.  Stir together

Enjoy this one!
