Chewy and Delicious Stir-Fried Shiitake Mushrooms
How to Make Shiitake Mushrooms Chewier Than Meat – It’s Really Easy!
Try making these incredibly chewy and delicious stir-fried shiitake mushrooms that are even tastier than meat. It’s so simple to prepare.
Main Ingredients
- 300g shiitake mushrooms (about 5-6 mushrooms)
- 1/4 onion
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
It’s important to properly prepare the shiitake mushrooms. First, use a knife to cut off and remove the tough stem ends.
Step 2
Instead of washing the mushrooms with water, gently wipe off any dirt or debris from both sides using a damp kitchen towel. This method helps retain the mushrooms’ natural aroma and flavor, resulting in a richer taste.
Step 3
Slice the cleaned shiitake mushrooms into bite-sized pieces. For the best chewy texture, slice them into strips about 0.5 cm thick – not too thin!
Step 4
Slice the onion into similar strips as the mushrooms. The sweetness of the onion will blend beautifully with the mushrooms, enhancing the overall flavor.
Step 5
In a small bowl, combine 2.5 Tbsp soy sauce, 2 Tbsp oligosaccharide, 0.5 Tbsp oyster sauce, and 1 Tbsp minced garlic. Whisk together to create a delicious seasoning sauce.
Step 6
Heat a pan over high heat. Add the prepared seasoning sauce and sliced onions to the pan. Stir-fry quickly until the onions become slightly translucent and the sauce begins to bubble.
Step 7
Once the sauce is simmering, add the prepared shiitake mushrooms. Reduce the heat to medium and continue to stir-fry for about 3-5 minutes, or until the mushrooms soften and are well-coated with the sauce. Be careful not to overcook, as they can become tough!
