Oyster Mushroom Stir-fry

So what’s on the lunch menu ? funny man asks me when he has friends coming over for lunch.

“Mushroom stir-fry”I say, and he gives me THE LOOK that says “Not again”.

I can’t lie, I’m known(at least with my family) for making this stir fry once a week, I know the kids are tired of it but I really don’t care.

I do the cooking around here, don’t you think I should have one of my favorites every week?.

Mushroom facts to keep in mind 

1. Avoid washing mushrooms as they turn soggy and slimy.

2. The taste of mushrooms are kind of earthy and bland, meaning they don’t have a taste unless you season them properly. I’ve discovered the best way to bring out the flavor of the mushrooms is to squeeze a little lime on to it once cooked.
