- 1/2 Onion
Seasoning Ingredients- 1 Tbsp Oyster Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 Pinch Salt (for seasoning adjustment)

- A little Black Pepper
- 1 Tbsp Oyster Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 Pinch Salt (for seasoning adjustment)
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Seeds
- A little Black Pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, peel the onion and wash it thoroughly under running water. Slice it lengthwise into strips about 5mm thick. This slicing method ensures a good texture when stir-fried.
Step 2
Next, prepare the red and green bell peppers. Remove the seeds and core, wash them well, and then slice them lengthwise into strips about 5mm thick, similar to the onion. The vibrant colors will enhance the visual appeal of the dish.
Step 3
Trim off any dirt from the bottom of the king oyster mushrooms and rinse them lightly under running water. Slice them lengthwise into strips approximately 5mm thick. Avoid slicing them too thinly, as they might become mushy when cooked.
Step 4
Now, let’s get ready to stir-fry. Place a frying pan over medium heat and add a little cooking oil to preheat the pan. A properly heated pan is key for effective stir-frying.
Step 5
Add the sliced onion to the heated pan and stir-fry over medium heat until it becomes slightly translucent. Stir-frying the onion first brings out its natural sweetness, enhancing the overall flavor of the dish.
Step 6
Once the onion starts to turn translucent, add the sliced king oyster mushrooms and continue to stir-fry them together. The mushrooms will begin to soften and release some moisture as they cook.
Step 7
After adding the mushrooms, sprinkle in a pinch of salt. This salt is not for the final seasoning but rather to subtly enhance the flavors of the mushrooms and onions.
Step 8
Now, slightly increase the heat to medium-high. Pour 1 tablespoon of soy sauce along the edges of the pan. Let it sizzle and caramelize slightly to impart a ‘wok hei’ or smoky flavor. As soon as you hear the sizzle and smell the aroma, reduce the heat back to medium and quickly stir everything together to combine the ingredients and sauce.
Step 9
Add the sliced bell peppers to the pan and stir-fry with the other ingredients. Bell peppers cook quickly, so avoid overcooking them to maintain their crisp texture.
Step 10
Add 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce. Oyster sauce adds a rich umami flavor that makes the dish even more delicious.
Step 11
Finally, sprinkle in a little black pepper. Pepper adds aroma and helps to eliminate any unwanted odors.
Step 12
Continue to stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes, just until the bell peppers are slightly softened but still retain some crunch. Cook just long enough to wilt them slightly. Be careful not to overcook.
Step 13
Garnish with 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds and give it a final mix. Your delicious Oyster Sauce Stir-Fried King Oyster Mushrooms and Vegetables are ready! This dish is light and healthy as it doesn’t require a lot of oil, making it a perfect side dish.
