Ingredients for Savory Oyster Sauce Stir-fried King Oyster Mushrooms- 139g King Oyster Mushrooms
- 32g Carrot
- 70g Onion
- 21g Green Onion (scallion)
- 0.5 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 0.5 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- 3.5 Tbsp Grapeseed Oil
Seasoning for Savory Oyster Sauce Stir-fried King Oyster Mushrooms- 0.7 Tbsp Oyster Sauce
- 1-3 Pinches Salt
- 0.7 Tbsp Oyster Sauce
- 1-3 Pinches Salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, gently rinse the king oyster mushrooms under running water. Trim off the tough bottom ends, then separate the mushrooms into individual strands or bite-sized pieces. This preparation ensures the sauce coats every piece evenly.
Step 2
Now, let’s prepare the vegetables. Finely julienne the carrot (32g) and onion (70g) into slices about 2-3mm thick. Chop the green onion (21g) finely, and have your minced garlic (0.5 Tbsp) ready.
Step 3
It’s time to start stir-frying! Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the prepared carrot, onion, and separated king oyster mushrooms. Drizzle in the grapeseed oil (3.5 Tbsp) evenly over the ingredients.
Step 4
Stir-fry over medium heat for about 3 minutes, or until the king oyster mushrooms become tender and wilted. Gently toss the ingredients with a spatula as they cook. This step helps to remove excess moisture from the mushrooms, enhancing their texture.
Step 5
Once the king oyster mushrooms are tender, it’s time to add the oyster sauce (0.7 Tbsp) for that rich, savory flavor. If you feel the oyster sauce alone isn’t enough seasoning, you can add 1-3 pinches of salt at this stage. Alternatively, you can adjust the seasoning at the very end to your preference.
Step 6
After adding the oyster sauce, reduce the heat to medium-low. Continue to stir and mix gently to ensure the sauce is evenly distributed throughout the mushrooms and vegetables. Taste the mixture, and if you find it needs more seasoning, add a little more salt or oyster sauce to match your taste.
Step 7
Finally, add the finely chopped green onion and minced garlic (0.5 Tbsp). Stir-fry for another minute, or until the fragrant aroma of garlic is released. Be careful not to overcook the garlic, as it can become bitter. Once fragrant, turn off the heat.
Step 8
Turn off the heat, then drizzle in the sesame oil (0.5 Tbsp) and give it a final gentle toss to infuse the aroma. For an extra touch of flavor and texture, sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds on top. Your delicious stir-fried king oyster mushrooms are now ready to be enjoyed!
