Miso Mushroom Bowl

Here’s a delicious grain bowl. This umami-flavored Miso Mushroom Bowl is served with meaty portobello mushrooms,  warm brown rice, and healthy veggies, drizzled with the tastiest Miso Ginger Dressing (that you’ll want to put on everything)!

Calling all mushroom lovers!  This Miso Mushroom Bowl is not only plant-powered and highly nutritious, it is also full of delicious umami flavor. It’s filling and satisfying but leaves you feeling energized and light.

There are numerous research reports on the healing properties of mushrooms, especially when it comes to supporting our immune system. Mushrooms activate or stimulate macrophages in the immune system, a type of white blood cell that “eats” pathogens like bacteria, viruses and cancer cells.  So we’ve been amping up our mushroom intake the last few months, but not purely for health reasons- we happen to love them too!

Ingredients in A Mushroom Bowl

• Portobello Mushrooms - Savory and umami-rich, they add meaty depth and hearty texture to the bowl, especially when sautéed or roasted until caramelized. Feel free to sub other mushrooms
• Brown rice - Provides a nutty, wholesome base that adds fiber and makes the bowl satisfying and nourishing. Or sub white rice.
• Edamame - Adds plant-based protein, a pop of color, and a tender bite. Feel free to use other beans.
• Greens and crunchy vegetables (spinach, grated carrots, daikon radish, cabbage) - Bring freshness, crisp texture, and vibrant color, balancing the richness of the mushrooms and avocado. Pick a couple to use.
• Avocado - Adds creamy richness and healthy fats that round out the flavors.
• Miso Ginger Dressing- A savory, slightly sweet, and tangy dressing that ties everything together with deep umami and bright ginger notes.

How to make a Miso Mushroom Bowl

Step One: Cook the Rice. Let’s get it going while we make the rest of the bowl.

TIP: Here’s a little trick I do to speed things up with short grain brown rice. Boil the rice like you would pasta- with ample water. Then cook the edamame in the rice water.

Drain the rice and let stand 5 minutes.

Step two: While the rice is cooking, saute the mushrooms.  Here I’m using portobellos- but feel free to use what you have. The important thing here is getting them nice and brown.

Step three: Prep the veggies. Slice the avocado, shred the carrots, diakon and cabbage.

Step four: Make the Dressing.

Miso Dressing:

The dressing is quite tasty, I’d recommend making a double batch to use on salads, later in the week. 😉

Simply blend the ingredients in a blender until smooth.

The dressing will keep up to 5 days in the fridge, but trust me, it won’t last that long- you’ll want to put it on everything!

Step Five: Assemble your bowls. This recipe makes 4 bowls and is perfect for meal prepping ahead for the busy work week.

Start with a warm bed or short grain brown rice – nutty and delicious.

Add a handful of organic spinach.

Layer up the fresh veggies. Here we’ve got cabbage, daikon, edamame, avocado, and carrots.

Step six. Spoon the flavorful Miso Ginger dressing over top. Add sprouts and seeds.

Storage

Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Notes

The fastest way to cook rice to cook using the pasta method. Cook rice in 6 -8 cups salted boiling water, until tender, about 15 minutes. Strain and let stand in the strainer over the pot, 5 minutes until fully drained.

If you would rather roast the portobello mushrooms, double the dressing and use some as a marinade, coating the mushrooms well, place them on a parchemt-lined sheet pan and roast at 400F until tender. The cabbage is also very tasty roasted- I’d add more because it will shrink. 😉
