I whisked the ingredients in a small glass measuring cup that made it easy to pour the marinade on the caps once combined.
I put the mixture in the fridge to marinade for 2 hours. You can do between 30 mins to 2 hours. I prefer the deeper effect of the balsamic and soy sauce on the mushrooms leaving them in longer.
Since I purchased pre sliced caps I fried them in a small electric skillet until they were darkened and had a nice carmel effect from the agave syrup. Turning once to get both sides done without burning.
Chopped and added to black rice bowl.
