I have sauteed them in a little bit of Lite Soy Sauce before.

I eat mushrooms and zuchinni every night. I just slice them up and sautee them in lite soy sauce.

I love mushrooms too and I slice them up and saute them with a little butter flavor pam or similar cooking spray, with minced garlic...after they brown just a tiny bit add a couple tablespoons of water and cover with a lid so they stay moist.

I used to work in a steakhouse many moons ago and the way they prepared them was throwing whole mushrooms in a huge pot of water, adding butter (which of course is a no-no now) salt and worcheshire sauce. So I sometimes will spritz whole cooked ones, with I can't believe its not butter and give a shake of worcheshire sauce.
You can also steam them, Microwave them in a bowl of water and/or bake them. lol

MMM, Mm!! Happy shrooming!

I marinate portobellos, usually in a bit of low-carb teriyaki or Asian salad dressing, then grill 'em. Either whole or sliced. I don't think I'd cook them like regular mushrooms.

I tried using some of the homemade teriyaki sauce listed on here last night, and it was great. I stir fried mushrooms, zuchinni, and shrimp with the sauce.

Which recipe did you use? I am thinking of making one or the other this weekend and marinate some chicken. Just wondering which one you like the best? Terri

I used the main one in the thread. I haven't tried the other one yet, because I'm a little worried about the high carb count.

That's the one that I was going to marinate my chicken in. Sounds really good. I just hope I can find some fresh ginger. Did you get yours at a regular grocery store?

Yeah, you shouldn't have any trouble finding it in a regular grocery store. They are usually in small baskets near the garlic. It's really cheap as well, you can get enough for that recipe for about a dime.

Great ! Thanks! I am going to make some this weekend !

BTW, you can freeze fresh ginger and just grate up what you need when you need it. Just wrap it up in some foil and stick it in a baggie.

Try marinating them in balsamic vinegar and garlic overnight. Then grilling them! Yum!
