These marinated brown mushrooms taste unexpectedly smoky and flavorful, almost reminiscent of bacon. This smoky flavor is sometimes missing when using white mushrooms.
Steps

Rub the mushrooms with a paper towel and slice them. Chop the chives. For a version that is not completely raw but enhances the flavor, lightly toast the sesame seeds in a frying pan without using any oil. |

To make the marinade, peel the ginger and grate it finely. If using the chili pepper, remove the stem and slice finely. In a small bowl, mix together all the ingredients for the marinade and 1 tablespoon water. |

Pour the marinade evenly over the mushroom slices and let the mushrooms marinate in the sauce for at least 30 minutes. Occasionally stir gently so that the marinade evenly covers all the mushrooms. |
