Oyster mushrooms are quickly sautéed in a pan with sesame oil, soy sauce / tamari, garlic, ginger, lemon juice, and garnished with chives.

Ingredients

  • 6 oz oyster mushrooms, tough stems removed
  • 1 ½ Tbsp toasted sesame oil, divided
  • 1 ½ Tbsp soy sauce or gluten free tamari
  • 1 medium clove garlic, thinly sliced
  • 2 tsp ginger, minced
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp chives, sliced (optional as garnish)
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • Wipe any dirt off mushrooms with a paper towel and cut off any larger tough stems.  Leave stems on any small tender mushrooms. Leave mushroom caps whole (don't slice!).
  • Bring a large nonstick pan to medium high heat and add enough sesame oil to lightly coat the pan (~ 1 Tbsp). 
  • Add mushrooms and drizzle on soy sauce and lemon juice.  Don't overcrowd the pan, you want the caps to be touching the surface.
  • Reduce heat if smoking and let mushrooms set until golden brown and starting to crisp (2-4 minutes).  It's important to not move or stir the mushrooms in order to get it browned.
  • Flip mushrooms,  and add garlic and ginger and a little more sesame oil if needed.  I like to make a divet in the middle and add the garlic, ginger, and oil.  See picture above in the pan.
  • Cook an additional 2-3 minutes or until browned.
  • Add salt to taste and garnish with optional chives.  Happy Eating! Beckie
