Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Start by preparing your fresh shiitake mushrooms. Gently rinse them under running water to remove any dirt or debris. If the mushrooms are clean, you can simply wipe them with a paper towel to remove excess moisture instead of washing. Using prepped mushrooms this way can yield a better texture.
Step 2
Slice the prepared shiitake mushrooms into thick, bite-sized pieces. Thinly slice the onion into strips, and cut the scallions to match the length of the mushroom slices. Having all your ingredients prepped and ready will make the cooking process much smoother.
Step 3
Now, heat a pan over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once the oil is warm, add 1 teaspoon of minced garlic. Sauté the garlic for about 10 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to overcook the garlic, as it can burn quickly.
Step 4
As soon as the garlic becomes fragrant, add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and onions to the pan. Stir-fry them together over medium heat, ensuring they are well combined. Continue cooking until the vegetables begin to soften slightly.
Step 5
Once the mushrooms and vegetables are partially cooked, add 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce and 1.5 tablespoons of oligosaccharide. Stir quickly to coat everything evenly with the sauce. Continue to stir-fry until the onions become translucent and the mushrooms are tender but not mushy. Avoid overcooking, which can lead to a soggy texture.
Step 6
Turn off the heat. Finish by drizzling in a little toasted sesame oil and sprinkling 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds. Give it a final gentle toss to distribute the flavors. Your delicious shiitake mushroom stir-fry with oyster sauce is now ready! It’s wonderful served immediately while warm, or you can let it cool and pack it as a convenient side dish for lunchboxes.
