Main Ingredients
- 2 King Oyster Mushrooms (approx. 158g after trimming)
- 40g Carrot
- 18g Green Onion
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, trim the ends of the king oyster mushrooms. Cut them in half lengthwise, then slice into pieces about 2-3mm thick. Thinly julienne the carrot.
Step 2
Finely chop the green onion and have the 0.5 Tbsp of minced garlic ready. Prepping all your ingredients like this makes the cooking process much smoother.
Step 3
Heat 3 tablespoons of cooking oil in a pan.
Step 4
Add 3 tablespoons of water to the oil and place the pan over medium-low heat on the stove. When stir-frying mushrooms, it’s better to use a small amount of water rather than a lot of oil, as the mushrooms will release their own moisture. Cooking over medium or medium-low heat, rather than high heat, helps create wonderfully moist stir-fried mushrooms.
Step 5
Once the pan is heated and you’ve added the ingredients, start stir-frying. When the mushrooms begin to soften slightly, add the julienned carrots. Stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until the carrots are tender-crisp.
Step 6
Now, add 0.6-0.7 tablespoons of oyster sauce to enhance the savory flavor. Drizzle it along the edges of the pan; this helps the oyster sauce caramelize slightly and release more aroma.
Step 7
Add 0.2 teaspoons of salt for basic seasoning.
Step 8
Gently stir the ingredients with a spatula or chopsticks to ensure the oyster sauce and salt evenly coat the king oyster mushrooms and carrots. The mushrooms will start to glisten as they absorb the sauce.
Step 9
Taste as you cook. If it feels a bit bland, add a tiny pinch more salt and stir-fry briefly again to adjust the seasoning. It’s important to season to your preference.
Step 10
Finally, add the chopped green onion and minced garlic. Stir-fry quickly just until fragrant, then immediately turn off the heat. Be careful not to overcook the garlic and green onions, as their aroma will dissipate.
Step 11
With the heat off, drizzle 0.5 tablespoons of sesame oil into the pan.
Step 12
Add a pinch of black pepper to your liking for extra aroma. After adding the sesame oil and pepper, give it a final gentle toss.
Step 13
Finally, sprinkle generously with toasted sesame seeds to finish. Your delicious oyster sauce stir-fried king oyster mushrooms are ready! They are truly wonderful served over warm rice.
