Method

Using a small spoon, delicately scoop out and discard the dark brown gills from the underside of each mushroom.


Wipe mushrooms gently with a moist paper towel to remove any remaining debris then transfer to a wide, shallow baking dish along with the pineapple rings.


Put 3/4 cup of the reserved pineapple juice (save remaining for another use), soy sauce, sugar, garlic, ginger and sesame oil into a small bowl and whisk together to make a marinade.


Pour marinade over mushrooms and pineapple, cover and set aside, turning occasionally, for 1 to 2 hours.


Prepare a grill for medium-high heat cooking.


Meanwhile, remove mushrooms and pineapple from marinade and set aside.


Transfer marinade to a small saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat.


In a small bowl, stir together 1/4 cup water and cornstarch then whisk into marinade and boil until thickened, about 1 minute more; set aside.


Working in batches, grill mushrooms and pineapple, gently flipping once, until hot throughout and tender, 3 to 5 minutes.


Transfer to buns, top with lettuce and serve with teriyaki sauce on the side, if you like.
