This dish is perfect as a vegetable side to accompany any meal, especially speak or roast chicken. These mushrooms and garlic work beautifully to create dishes that produce an aroma that makes you starve immediately. Thus, the soy sauce will add excellent flavor and make it caramelized-look so that we could call it a pretty dish as well!
Actually, we can use regular soy sauce or shoyu as a crucial component of this dish. However, I would like to suggest you replace it with shoyu koji for a more beautiful caramel-like mushroom and truly divine taste.
Let’s make a try at our delicious stir-fried mushrooms below!
About Shoyu Koji
Shoyu koji (醬油麹) is an aged pasty sauce made with Shoyu that is perfectly fermented with rice koji. Usually, the fermentation process takes about a week to ten days hoping that the koji will completely absorb the contents in the shoyu.
If we compare it with the regular shoyu, this shoyu koji is considered more affluent in umami and has a deep taste of koji. And, it is said that you’ll taste ten times more delicious than the regular shoyu! Surprising, isn’t it? With a small amount of Shoyu Koji, it is enough to develop the burst of umami.
Regarding how to use it, you don’t need to be confused because shoyu koji goes excellent with any dish that you would typically use shoyu for. The versatile nature of shoyu koji allows it to be used as seasoning/topping, mixed with natto, and marinating for fried food.
