Assembly

Notes

Miso:
Use a light shiro miso, also called sweet miso. It has a milder sweet flavor that is perfection with caramelized onions. Chickpea miso is a great option as well with it's sweet and mild flavor. It's also a soy free option for those with allergies. 
Mushroom Blend:
Doing a blend of mushrooms helps boost the umami flavor and gives you the largest variety of health benefits from the mushrooms. 
Try out your own mushroom blends with oyster mushroom, enoki, portabella, hedgehog, or shitake. While this recipe does work with only one type of mushroom the overall flavor will be much better if you do a mixture. If you only want to do a single type of mushroom for this recipe try to do oyster, maitake, or shitake. 
Garlic:
Don't have access to black garlic? Try adding garlic confit in it's place! Otherwise 1 tsp of roasted garlic powder can do the trick as well. If using garlic powder do not over do it or it will overpower the miso flavor.
