How to Make Flavorful Oyster Mushroom Stir-Fry and Chewy Shiitake Mushroom Stir-Fry
Mushroom stir-fries are simple to make and incredibly delicious side dishes. This recipe introduces how to prepare both savory oyster mushroom stir-fry and chewy shiitake mushroom stir-fry. They make perfect accompaniments to any meal.
Main Ingredients- 1 pack Oyster mushrooms
- 1 pack Shiitake mushrooms
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the oyster mushrooms. Trim off the tough bottom part of the stems. Gently rinse them under cold running water and pat them dry. Avoid over-washing, as it can diminish their delicate flavor.
Step 2
Tear the prepared oyster mushrooms into bite-sized pieces by hand – this helps retain their texture. Heat 2 tablespoons of sesame oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Add the torn oyster mushrooms and stir-fry until they begin to wilt. Season with salt to your taste. It’s best to add salt gradually to avoid making it too salty.
Step 3
Once the mushrooms are partially cooked, add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic and the remaining 2 tablespoons of sesame oil. Finally, sprinkle in some toasted sesame seeds for extra aroma and stir-fry for another minute. Your delicious oyster mushroom stir-fry is ready!
Step 4
Serve this oyster mushroom stir-fry over warm rice for a truly delightful experience. Transfer it to a serving dish.
Step 5
Now, let’s make the shiitake mushroom stir-fry! After washing the shiitake mushrooms, remove their stems and thinly slice them. Slicing them not too thinly will help preserve their wonderfully chewy texture.
Step 6
Add 2 tablespoons of sesame oil to a clean pan over medium-low heat. Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and stir-fry. Shiitake mushrooms will release their own moisture; continue cooking until this liquid has mostly evaporated.
Step 7
When the shiitake mushrooms are almost cooked, season with salt, then add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic and a pinch of toasted sesame seeds. Stir-fry everything together for about one more minute until well combined. Your chewy shiitake mushroom stir-fry is perfectly complete!
Step 8
Even though a pack of mushrooms reduces in volume when stir-fried, their flavor and aroma are truly exceptional. Isn’t it surprising how simple it is to make these mushroom stir-fries? Try making both oyster and shiitake mushroom stir-fries to create a more abundant and flavorful meal!
