Main Ingredients- 10 Fresh Shiitake Mushrooms
- 1/4 Onion
- A little Carrot (thinly julienned)
Seasoning- 2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 2/3 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- 1 Tbsp Plum Extract
- 2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 2/3 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- 1 Tbsp Plum Extract
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s make a delicious mushroom stir-fry using fresh shiitake mushrooms that have a slightly firm texture from losing a bit of moisture. The unique aroma and chewy texture of shiitake mushrooms are superb!
Step 2
First, prepare the simple ingredients needed for the dish. Prepare 10 fresh shiitake mushrooms, thinly slice 1/4 onion, and julienne the carrot for added color.
Step 3
In a bowl, combine the prepared fresh shiitake mushrooms with 2 Tbsp soy sauce, 2/3 Tbsp sesame oil, and 1 Tbsp plum extract (for sweetness). Gently mix and let it marinate for about 5 minutes. This will allow the mushrooms to absorb the flavors well, making them even more delicious.
Step 4
Heat a lightly oiled pan. First, stir-fry the onion until it becomes translucent. Once the onion is softened, add the julienned carrot and stir-fry together. It’s best to cook the vegetables just until they are slightly tender to maintain their crispness.
Step 5
Now, add the marinated shiitake mushrooms to the pan and stir-fry quickly over high heat. Shiitake mushrooms can become mushy if overcooked, so the key is to stir-fry for only about 2-3 minutes until all ingredients are well combined. Stir them around as if dancing, ‘shake shake’!
Step 6
Your aromatic and chewy fresh shiitake mushroom stir-fry is complete! Serve it over warm rice as a donburi, or enjoy it with other side dishes for a more abundant meal.
