I present my new creamy mushrooms sauce recipe in this post.
The first piece of news: most mushroom cream sauces are made with broth and cream.
Instead of broth, I just used soy sauce. The motto is, so to speak, “East meets West” 🙂
The second piece of news: the artists at the Meissen manufactory have made a gourmet plate for Johann Joachim Kaendler’s “Swan Service”.
The “Swan Dessin” porcelain from the late Baroque or Rococo (1730-1780) is one of the most beautiful European porcelain series and is almost 300 years old.
Food like Graf von Brühl… Let yourself be seduced by mushrooms with dumplings, alternatively you can have pasta as a side dish, which is even faster.

Instruction
Prepare supplement
You can serve the creamy mushroom sauce with bread dumplings or with noodles.
–> You calculate a preparation time of 40 minutes for fresh bread dumplings.
–> For pasta or noodles only the cooking time.
-> If you choose noodles, I recommend tagliatelle with this dish.
Ingredients overview
Prepare the ingredients in the kitchen.
Clean mushrooms
Check the mushrooms, if they are only slightly dirty you can clean the mushrooms with a brush.
For heavily soiled mushrooms, combine a bowl of cold water with 2 tablespoons vinegar and 2 tablespoons flour.
Wash mushrooms
Quickly add the mushrooms to the starch water and stir.
Mushroom water
I find the large amount of dirt that remains in the water surprising.
–> Vinegar changes the surface tension of water so that it becomes effective for cleaning.
–> The flour binds the dirt.
spin mushrooms
I put the mushrooms in the salad spinner basket after bathing.
-> Rinse once briefly with running, cold water.
–> Then spin the mushrooms dry.
Clean mushrooms
Place the spun mushrooms on kitchen paper and halve large mushrooms.
-> You can now cut off unsightly areas.
Fry mushrooms
Fry the mushrooms in a hot pan with a little oil over high heat.
Dice the shallot
Halve, peel and finely dice the shallot.
Add shallots
Reduce the heat of the stovetop.
Add the shallots to the sautéed mushrooms with the butter.
Remove mushrooms
Remove a few nice mushroom specimens for serving later and keep warm on a plate.
I put the plate in the oven a little later, where I also heat the plates for serving at 80°C hot air.
Binding Sauce
For later binding of the mushroom sauce, add the starch and sauté in the pan for 2-3 minutes until colourless.
Deglazing
Deglaze the mushrooms in the pan with white wine.
Important: If you heat the flour in the pan, you must always deglaze with cold water.
If you were to pour warm broth over it, the lump would form in the sauce.
Add cream
Add the cream and bring to the boil.
Season sauce
Season the cream sauce with soy sauce, salt, pepper and sugar to taste.
-> Optionally, you can add cayenne pepper and some nutmeg.
–> Keep the sauce warm.
Prepare parsley
Pluck the parsley leaves from the stalks and chop finely with a sharp knife.
Prepare crumbs
Optionally, heat the breadcrumbs with butter in the pan.
Complete the crumbs
Lightly toast the crumbs, season with salt and pepper.
Complete the supplement
Prepare the side dish.
–> You can keep dumplings warm in hot water until serving.
–> Cook the pasta exactly al dente and then drain.
Pass sauce
Pass the mushroom cream sauce through a fine sieve.
-> Alternatively, you can mix the noodles with the creamy mushrooms and serve.
Arrange mushrooms
Arrange the mushrooms from the sieve on hot plates.
Add dumplings
Take the bread dumplings out of the water and place them on a piece of kitchen paper and let them drain.
–> Arrange the dumplings in the middle of the mushrooms.
Add sauce
Mix the sauce with the hand blender and add to the mushrooms.
Complement decoration
Place the extra mushrooms on top of the cream sauce for decoration.
Place the cranberries with the mushrooms and make sure they look good as a whole.
Complete dish
Arrange the prepared butter crumbs sparingly on the dumpling and decorate with parsley.
The crumbs also taste good with the noodles!
Serve the dish quickly.
I wish you a good appetite!

3. Top 12 Cooking Tips for Creamy Mushrooms Sauce
I have summarized some helpful tips for you here:
- Decide on a side dish: bread dumplings or noodles.
- Shallots have a finer taste and harmonise better with mushrooms than onions.
- Wash mushrooms if they are very dirty.
- Alternatively, you can clean your mushrooms with a brush.
- Sauté the mushrooms over high heat, then reduce the heat for the shallot cubes.
- Give them 10 minutes in the pan to develop their flavour.
- The mushrooms always draw some juice in the pan, that’s fine.
- Do not let the mushroom juice evaporate but use it for the sauce.
- That means deglaze it quickly with white wine and cream.
- You can dilute the sauce with a little water.
- Add soy sauce, salt, pepper and sugar to taste.
- Serve hot, always keep the plates warm.
I prefer to wash dirty mushrooms, it’s quick and the mushrooms don’t crunch!
Tip from chef Thomas Sixt
4. Mushrooms for Creamy Mushrooms
You can use different mushrooms for the mushroom cream sauce.
These include, for example, oyster mushrooms and button mushrooms, chanterelles, porcini mushrooms or the Piopparello mushroom.
Self-collected chestnut mushrooms would be another option.
