This simple side dish uses just two kinds of mushrooms and a few seasonings, yet delivers deep umami flavor. The sweet-savory miso glaze combined with Japanese long onion makes it a perfect match for both rice and drinks.
The longer it rests, the more the flavors meld together, so it also works wonderfully as a make-ahead dish for meal prep.
