Main Ingredients- 1 bag Enoki mushrooms (approx. 118g, trimmed)
- 70g blanched broccoli florets
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by preparing your ingredients. You’ll need about 70g of blanched broccoli florets and one bag of enoki mushrooms, with their base trimmed. Using pre-blanched broccoli significantly cuts down on cooking time, making this recipe extra convenient.
Step 2
For the enoki mushrooms, after trimming the base, gently separate the strands with your fingers. Be careful not to crush them; aim for natural separation, about the thickness of your fingers.
Step 3
Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add the separated enoki mushrooms and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Stir-fry the mushrooms, allowing them to sizzle gently. Olive oil adds a wonderful aroma and helps prevent sticking.
Step 4
Continue to stir-fry the enoki mushrooms until they soften slightly and begin to turn golden brown, about halfway cooked. This process enhances their chewy texture and nutty flavor.
Step 5
Once the mushrooms are partially cooked, reduce the heat to low momentarily. Pour 0.5 tablespoon of soy sauce around the edges of the pan. This allows the soy sauce to caramelize slightly, releasing its aroma before mixing with the ingredients.
Step 6
As the soy sauce begins to sizzle, add the blanched broccoli florets to the pan.
Step 7
Next, add 0.3 tablespoon of oyster sauce for an extra layer of umami. Oyster sauce is a secret ingredient that enriches the overall flavor profile, even in small amounts.
Step 8
Turn the heat back up to medium. Stir-fry everything gently, ensuring the sauce evenly coats the mushrooms and broccoli. Continue to stir for about 2-3 minutes, being mindful not to burn the ingredients.
Step 9
Taste the stir-fry. If it’s not salty enough for your preference, add 1-2 pinches of salt. Adjust the saltiness to your liking. If it’s already flavorful, you can omit this step or add just a tiny bit.
Step 10
Finish with a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper. A few ‘tok tok tok’ shakes will add a subtle spicy kick that brightens the dish.
Step 11
Give everything one final gentle toss to ensure the sauce is perfectly distributed and coats all the ingredients evenly. This step helps meld the flavors together beautifully.
Step 12
Finally, garnish with a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds for a nutty aroma and visual appeal. Your delicious Broccoli and Mushroom Stir-fry is now ready to be served! Enjoy it over a bowl of warm rice.
