Oyster Mushroom Stir Fry
Oyster Mushroom Stir Fry
Oyster mushrooms are excellent cooking mushrooms in Asia, and many restaurants prefer them over the even better Straw mushrooms because they last much longer. Keep in mind, cooking this type of mushroom, the goal is to remove the moisture and just soften the mushrooms. I made this on 13 May 2018, and this is excellent, very well liked by the family.
Ingredients
- 400 grams fresh oyster mushrooms, (14 oz)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 6 spring onions, cut to 1 inch pieces, white and green separated
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- fresh coriander, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Cut off the root ends of the mushrooms, wash, shake dry and even gently squeeze out any water. Set aside.
- Heat the oil in a non stick pan on medium heat, when hot, saute the white parts of the spring onion and when softened, sprinkle in the ginger powder.
- Add the mushrooms, oyster sauce, and dark soy sauce. Mix together then let the mushrooms cook with less stirring, think sauteing. This only takes 1-2 minutes. Reduce the liquid in the pan to almost gone.
- Season with black pepper as desired and mix in the green parts of the spring onions, give it a few stirs, then remove to a serving dish. Top with fresh chopped coriander.
- Serve as a side dish or over rice for a light meal. (For this photo, the liquid you see is chicken gravy, not liquid from the mushrooms, however, I will say the mushrooms with the gravy is very good as well.)
Notes
Low cost.
Variant: 1. For a more authentic flavor, use ground Szechuan pepper. 2. Add shrimp and cook until they turn pink, then serve as a main dish over rice.

Excellent mushrooms. I made these on 13 May 2018 for the family, very well liked by everyone. This cooks up quickly, with the amount of moisture released and cooked off being the major time factor. On my Go To list and this will be a regular here for a side dish.
