Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 400° and position the rack in the middle.

  2. Peel and slice 2 medium carrots and 5 scallions diagonally to match the length of the gnocchi.

  3. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss the carrots, scallions, 1 sliced onion (¼ thick), one 17.5-oz. package of shelf-stable or refrigerated potato gnocchi, 14 oz. of mixed mushrooms (shiitake, oyster, and/or trumpet, trimmed and cut into large pieces), and 4 Tbsp. of extra-virgin olive oil to coat. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, then toss again.

  5. In a small jar, combine 1 finely grated garlic clove, 2 Tbsp. of soy sauce, 1 Tbsp. of mirin, 1 Tbsp. of unseasoned rice vinegar, 2 tsp. of granulated sugar, 2 tsp. of toasted sesame oil, and the remaining 2 Tbsp. of extra-virgin olive oil. Cover the jar and shake well to combine.
