How to Make Oyster Mushroom and Shiitake Stir-Fry with Oyster Sauce

Oyster mushroom and shiitake stir-fry with oyster sauce is a quick, flavorful dish that’s perfect for weeknight dinners. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to whip it up in under 20 minutes.

Ingredients:

200g fresh oyster mushrooms, trimmed

150g shiitake mushrooms, stems removed and caps sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tbsp ginger, grated

2 tbsp vegetable oil

2 tbsp oyster sauce

1 tbsp light soy sauce

1 tsp sugar

1/4 tsp white pepper

2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Sesame oil (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions:

1. Prep the Mushrooms: Clean oyster mushrooms by wiping with a damp cloth (avoid soaking to prevent sogginess). Tear into bite-sized pieces. Shiitake caps should be sliced thinly.

2. Sauté Aromatics: Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and ginger, stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

3. Cook Mushrooms: Add oyster mushrooms and shiitakes. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until they soften and release their juices.

4. Season: Drizzle in oyster sauce and light soy sauce. Add sugar and white pepper, tossing to coat evenly. Cook for 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

5. Finish and Serve: Turn off the heat. Garnish with green onions and a drizzle of sesame oil if desired. Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.

This dish balances the umami of oyster sauce with the earthy flavors of the mushrooms, creating a savory and satisfying meal. Enjoy!
