Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Button mushrooms (or cremini mushrooms)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh ginger, minced
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 Red chilies, sliced thinly (adjust to taste)
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (or any neutral cooking oil)
- 2 stalks Green onions (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt (optional, to taste)
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper (optional, freshly cracked)
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth or brushing off any dirt. Trim the stems if necessary and slice the mushrooms evenly into thick pieces.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced ginger, garlic, and sliced red chilies. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Increase the heat to high and add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Stir frequently to ensure they cook evenly.
After about 5 minutes, the mushrooms will begin to release their moisture. Continue to stir-fry until most of the liquid has evaporated, and the mushrooms are golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium and drizzle in the soy sauce and sesame oil. Stir to coat the mushrooms evenly in the sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and freshly cracked black pepper, if needed.
Remove from heat and garnish with finely chopped green onions before serving.
Serve hot as a side dish, or pair with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
