For gluten-free needs, use tamari instead of soy sauce and coconut sugar if preferred. Other firm mushrooms like oyster or king trumpet can be substituted for lions mane. For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes to the glaze. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro or thinly sliced green onions. Alternatively, oven roast mushrooms at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes before adding the glaze. To avoid watery mushrooms, ensure your pan is hot enough and avoid overcrowding. If the glaze is too thin, continue simmering gently until it reduces. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
