Main Ingredients- 1 pack (approx. 200g) mini king oyster mushrooms
- 1/2 bunch (approx. 100g) chives
Seasoning & Stir-fry- 1/2 tsp herb salt (or a pinch of salt and pepper)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp herb salt (or a pinch of salt and pepper)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
To ensure the best flavor and texture, it’s great to start with fresh ingredients. I particularly like the mini king oyster mushrooms from ‘Hansalim’ because they are exceptionally fresh. Prepare your mini king oyster mushrooms and fresh chives.
Step 2
Cut the chives into approximately 5cm (about 2-inch) lengths. Slice the mini king oyster mushrooms to a similar size. Cutting them into bite-sized pieces will ensure they cook evenly and quickly.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a wok or a deep pan over medium heat. Add the sliced mini king oyster mushrooms and begin to stir-fry. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of herb salt (or regular salt and pepper if you don’t have it). Herb salt adds a lovely aromatic flavor, so I highly recommend it! Sauté until the mushrooms release some moisture and begin to turn golden brown.
Step 4
Once the mushrooms are almost cooked through, immediately turn off the heat! Add the pre-cut chives to the pan. Chives cook very quickly and can become mushy and lose their vibrant color if overcooked, so adding them at the very end is key.
Step 5
Using the residual heat from the pan, gently toss the chives with the mushrooms for about 10-20 seconds, just until they are slightly wilted but still retain their crispness and fresh aroma. This quick stir-fry technique keeps the chives vibrant and flavorful. Your delicious King Oyster Mushroom and Chive Stir-fry is now ready to be served! It’s wonderful over rice or as a packed lunch side dish.
