Stir Fry Oyster Mushroom (Vegetarian)

Sometimes I do out of stock on "meat" supplies in the fridge due to any kind of businesses- busy with the kids, works, career, classes, baking etc....My kids are kind of carnivorous, of course, I always have a back up plan.

Mushroom to the rescue! Mushroom seriously taste like meat especially its texture. It is always good to add mushroom to our diet as it is very healthy & delicious too. What I like about the fresh mushroom - easy & fast to cook. With very little effort, we can have super delicious weekdays dinner.

Mushroom is high in Vitamin B2, D, Fiber, Potassium, low in calories, cholesterol free, enhances immune system & blood circulation & it is a perfect diet food.


Ingredients:
Handful of fresh mushroom (e.g. Shimeiji, Maitake, Grey Osyter etc)
Some chopped coriander/ spring onion
Lot of minced garlic (4-5 cloves)
Salt & Pepper
Optional (chicken stocks 1 tsp)

Only with these simple ingredients, we just need to cook these up in 5 mins.


Preparing the fresh mushroom, I always buy those "no need to wash" mushroom. If you are not able to get those, it is ok, just brief use running tap water to rinse the fresh mushroom. DO NOT soak mushroom in water, otherwise, it will become too watery when you stir fry the mushroom.


Method:
1) Stir fry garlic with one tbsp of olive oil, then add in the fresh mushroom.
 

2) Sweat the mushroom for 2-3 mins.
3) Add in the coriander or spring onion,chicken stock (it makes the mushroom taste like chicken), salt & pepper to taste.











P/S: There is an alternate version of non vegetarian stir fry mushroom, just add any left over roast meat when stir fry together with the mushroom. Taste superb too.
