Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large stems King oyster mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 2 stalks, finely chopped Green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Slice the king oyster mushroom stems into half-inch thick discs to mimic the size and shape of abalone slices.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and half a cup of water. Stir until the cornstarch is completely dissolved. Set the sauce mixture aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the mushroom slices to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly tender.
Pour in the prepared sauce mixture and reduce the heat to low. Allow the mushrooms to simmer in the sauce for 5-7 minutes, spooning the sauce over the slices occasionally.
In a separate small bowl, dissolve the remaining half cup of water with a pinch of salt and pepper. If the sauce is too thick, gradually add this mixture to loosen it to your desired consistency.
Once the sauce has thickened and coated the mushrooms evenly, remove the skillet from the heat.
Garnish the dish with chopped green onions and serve immediately, either on its own or with steamed rice.
