Preparation

Step 1

Dressing:
Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Remove from heat, let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Salad:

Heat grill to high. Brush mushrooms with oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until just cooked through. Remove from heat and tear into rough pieces.

Place mizuna in a large bowl and toss with a few tablespoons of dressing. Season with pepper, to taste. Add mushrooms to bowl, toss, and drizzle with more of the dressing.
