Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound mushrooms
- 3 cloves garlic
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes
Seasoning and Cooking Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
- Fresh parsley or cilantro
Instructions
- Clean mushrooms gently with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Slice large mushrooms into halves or quarters for even cooking.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
- Spread 1 pound of mushrooms in a single layer across the hot pan. Let them cook undisturbed for 4 minutes until golden brown.
- Stir mushrooms and continue cooking for 6-7 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper during cooking.
- Push mushrooms to pan edges and add 3 minced garlic cloves in the center. Sauté garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon chili flakes over mushrooms and stir thoroughly to distribute evenly.
- Pour 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 tablespoon sesame oil over mushrooms. Mix completely to coat all pieces.
- Cook the mixture for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing flavors to blend. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Optional: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or cilantro before serving hot alongside your favorite dish.
Notes
- Clean mushrooms gently with a damp cloth to prevent water absorption, which can make them soggy.
- Use high heat and avoid overcrowding the pan to achieve a golden-brown sear that develops deep, rich flavor.
- Experiment with different mushroom varieties like shiitake, oyster, or cremini to create interesting texture and taste combinations.
- For a vegan or gluten-free version, replace soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos, ensuring the same umami-packed profile.
