Main Ingredients- 300g Mini King Oyster Mushrooms
- 1 Tbsp minced green onion
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Wash the mushrooms thoroughly: Place the mini king oyster mushrooms in a colander and rinse them gently under running water. Lightly squeeze out excess water with your hands. This step helps prevent the mushrooms from releasing too much liquid during cooking, resulting in a better texture.
Step 2
Slice into bite-sized pieces: Slice larger mushrooms thinly (about 0.5cm thick) and halve the smaller ones. Cutting them into bite-sized pieces ensures even cooking and makes them easy to eat.
Step 3
Combine and begin stir-frying: Add all the sliced mushrooms to a pan. Toss in the minced green onion and minced garlic. Pour in 1 tablespoon of cooking oil and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Turn the heat to high and begin to stir-fry quickly to prevent burning.
Step 4
Stir-fry on high heat to enhance flavor: Cooking on high heat helps evaporate excess moisture from the mushrooms, bringing out their chewy texture. Stir-fry for about 3-5 minutes, or until the mushrooms are lightly browned and softened. It’s important to keep the ingredients moving in the pan, either by shaking it or stirring with a spatula, to ensure even cooking.
Step 5
Finish with aromatic sesame: Once the mushrooms are cooked and most of the liquid has evaporated, turn off the heat. Drizzle in 1 tablespoon of sesame oil for a nutty aroma and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds to finish. For an extra boost of flavor, lightly crush the sesame seeds between your palms before adding them. Enjoy this delicious mushroom stir-fry with a warm bowl of rice!
