Ingredients
- 8 ounces (225 g) oyster mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil
- 2 cloves garlic, sliced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Sliced green onion
Steps
- Trim the tough base of each cluster and tear the mushrooms into strips.
- Heat a wide pan over medium-high heat until hot. Add the oil.
- Add the mushrooms in a single layer, in batches if needed, and cook without stirring for 2 to 3 minutes until browned on one side.
- Stir and cook another 3 minutes until cooked through.
- Add the garlic for 30 seconds, then the soy sauce and sesame oil.
- Top with green onion and serve hot.
Cleaning and storage
- Wipe or brush off debris. Oyster mushrooms absorb water, so avoid soaking.
- Store in a paper bag in the fridge for a few days.
- They are delicate and spoil faster than many mushrooms, so cook them soon after picking.
