Mushroom sauce for meat

About mushroom sauce for meat

Mushroom sauce for meat is a spicy sauce with plenty of mushrooms that goes well with meat. This is a popular sauce with my family. When you talk about mushroom sauce, you often think of a creamy sauce. However, this sauce is spicy and a little sweet, since it is sautéed mushrooms seasoned with tonkatsu sauce, sugar, grated ginger, and curry powder.  The taste may be a bit like a BBQ sauce. It’s a taste that everyone will love once you eat it. I usually eat the mushroom sauce with pan-fried pork, hamburger steak, or sautéed chicken.

Recently, mixed mushrooms packages are available at supermarkets, which is very convenient and I often buy them. You can enjoy a different texture and flavor by mixing various types of mushrooms. Of course, it’s delicious to make with just one kind of mushroom, but if you can get it, try to purchase mixed mushrooms.

Mushrooms are low in calories and they seem to be nutritionally good. I put a link below about the nutrition and health benefits of mushrooms, please read it if you like.

How to make

In general you don’t need to wash commercially available mushrooms with water, as they will change of the texture and flavor.  If the mushrooms are dirty with some soil, wipe them gently with a damp paper towel. After removing hard or damaged parts, cut them into a size that is easy to eat.

Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the mushrooms over medium to high heat. When the mushrooms are cooked and tender and browned, sprinkle with seasoning.  Reduce the heat to low and simmer a little.  

In fact, depending on the meat dish, it’s a good idea to fry the mushrooms in a frying pan with the meat, if you have a space to fry the mushrooms.  I usually fry mushrooms in another frying pan, then transfer the mushrooms to a frying pan in which I have cooked meat and add seasonings to finish the sauce.  This will add the flavor of the meat to the sauce.
