Prep Time 7 minutes
Cook Time 8 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Servings 2

Ingredients

  • 10 oz (280 g) oyster mushrooms
  • 2-3 Tbsp olive oil divided
  • 1 Tbsp soy sauce or tamari or coconut aminos
  • ½ Tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 small cloves of garlic finely minced
  • ½ tsp fresh ginger grated
  • Black pepper and thyme to taste

Serve with:

  • Cooked Rice
  • Chopped parsley or scallion, or chives

Instructions

  • You can watch the short video for visual instructions.
    First, combine a tablespoon of olive oil with the soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, garlic, thyme, and black pepper in a small bowl, whisk, and set aside.
  • Then, gently clean the mushrooms with a lightly damp paper towel/cloth, remove any tough stems at the base of each cluster, and break large clusters into bite-sized pieces.
  • Next, heat a large non-stick/cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat with a swirl of oil. Once hot, arrange a single layer of mushrooms with space between (work in batches).
  • Leave the mushrooms to sear undisturbed for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and lightly crisp. Then, repeat with the remaining mushrooms.
    To increase the sear, gently press the mushrooms while they sear – but don’t move them around. Be careful not to overcook them, or they may become rubbery.
  • Add the previously cooked mushrooms and glaze ingredients to the pan and simmer for a few minutes until the sauce has slightly thickened.
  • Optionally, serve the sauteed mushrooms over rice with chopped parsley, scallions, or chives. Enjoy!
