Mushrooms are a nutrient-rich ingredient that can be enjoyed fresh year-round.

Today, we’ll be using button mushrooms, known for their tender texture and rich flavor, to create a fantastic side dish: ‘Stir-Fried Mushrooms’. This dish requires no special sauces; just oyster sauce is enough to create a burst of umami flavor. Oyster sauce is a versatile staple in almost every kitchen, isn’t it? You already know that just adding oyster sauce can make fried rice and stir-fries delicious, right? Well, let me walk you through the detailed steps of making aromatic stir-fried mushrooms seasoned with oyster sauce!
Essential Ingredients- 10 fresh button mushrooms
- 5 cloves of aromatic garlic
- 1/2 sweet onion
- 1/2 crisp yellow bell pepper
- 1/2 crisp red bell pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thinly slice the garlic cloves about 0.3cm thick. This is an important first step to impart a subtle garlic aroma.
Step 2
Dice the onion into approximately 2x2cm cubes. Gently separate any overlapping pieces with your fingers so they cook evenly.
Step 3
Chop the yellow and red bell peppers into 2x2cm pieces, similar to the onion. Adding colorful bell peppers not only makes the dish visually appealing but also adds diverse textures.
Step 4
Instead of washing the button mushrooms under running water, gently wipe away any dirt or debris from the surface with a paper towel. Cut them into 2-4 pieces depending on their size, making them easy to eat.
Step 5
Now, let’s start stir-frying! Heat 3 tablespoons of cooking oil in a preheated pan over medium-low heat. Add the sliced garlic and sauté slowly until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic; sautéing it until golden brown is key.
Step 6
Once the delicious aroma of garlic fills the pan, add the diced onion and bell peppers. Stir-fry them together. The sweetness of the vegetables will begin to meld with the garlic’s fragrance.
Step 7
When the onions start to turn translucent and the bell peppers soften slightly, add the prepared button mushrooms and continue to stir-fry. Mushrooms release a lot of water, so cooking them over high heat quickly will prevent excess moisture and result in a tastier dish.
Step 8
As the button mushrooms wilt and begin to brown slightly, pour in 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce. Stir well to ensure the savory flavor of the oyster sauce evenly coats the mushrooms and vegetables.
Step 9
When the mushrooms are cooked to your liking and all ingredients are harmoniously blended with the oyster sauce, drizzle in 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to enhance the aroma. Stir-fry lightly for another moment after adding the sesame oil.
Step 10
Once the nutty aroma of sesame oil wafts up, turn off the heat and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of roasted sesame seeds over the top to finish. Your nutritious and delicious stir-fried mushrooms are ready!
