Main Ingredients- 2 handfuls fresh bean sprouts (approx. 200g)
- 1 king oyster mushroom (or 100g of your preferred mushrooms)
- 4 red chili peppers (optional)
Seasoning & Others- Pinch of salt (to taste)
- Pinch of black pepper (to taste)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Pinch of salt (to taste)
- Pinch of black pepper (to taste)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, gently rinse the fresh bean sprouts under running water and pat them dry. Trim the ends of the king oyster mushroom and slice it into bite-sized pieces or thin slices. If using other mushrooms, clean and prepare them similarly. If you like a bit of heat, deseed the red chili peppers and finely mince or crush them.
Step 2
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the prepared bean sprouts and stir-fry quickly for about 1 minute, just until they start to wilt but remain crisp. We want to retain their satisfying crunch.
Step 3
Now, add the sliced king oyster mushrooms (or your chosen mushrooms) to the pan. Continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and slightly softened. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper to your liking. It’s best to season lightly to allow the natural flavors of the ingredients to shine through.
Step 4
For a touch of spicy warmth, add the minced red chili peppers to the pan and stir-fry for another 30 seconds. This will infuse the oil with a lovely spicy aroma, elevating the dish. Once everything is well combined, remove from heat and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious stir-fry!
