tips to make the teriyaki mushroom.

• You can use any type of mushroom to make the teriyaki stir fry but I find oyster mushrooms work best.
• The stalks of the mushroom combined with the softer part, add different textures to the stir fry.
• These oyster mushrooms also come cleaned and prepacked, so
  they can go straight to the cooking pan.

• Brown the mushrooms first on medium-high heat so they turn golden and crispy before adding the teriyaki sauce. I like to season them with salt and chilli powder.

• Use my teriyaki sauce for a larger batch which you can use anytime.

• You can add bell peppers, broccoli, and green beans as additional ingredients.

• Make sure to taste the teriyaki sauce and make adjustments as you go. use a low-sodium soy sauce if possible.

Utensils and appliances needed.

• Chopping board and knife.
• Medium-sized saucepan to make the teriyaki sauce.
• Medium-sized bowl.
• Large frying pan.

ingredients to make teriyaki mushroom

The ingredients mentioned below use standard measuring cups and spoons.

2 packages of oyster mushroom(about 200g of mushrooms in a pack, reduce to one if serving for 2 people)

Salt to season

1 teaspoon of red chilli powder

1 tablespoon of minced garlic(about 2-3 cloves of garlic)

1 tablespoon of butter or oil(used only to fry until brown and crispy)

To make the teriyaki sauce

For a larger batch, use my teriyaki sauce recipe.

For this recipe use the following quantities.

2 tablespoons of low-sodium soy sauce

2 tablespoons of white or brown sugar

1/4 a teaspoon of minced garlic(about 1 large clove)

2 teaspoons of cornstarch

3 tablespoons of warm water

1 teaspoon of tomato ketchup(optional)

1/2 a teaspoon of sesame seeds

How to make teriyaki mushroom stir fry

Shred the larger oyster mushrooms in half. the smaller ones can be used as they are.

Place them in a bowl, and season with salt and red chilli powder so they are lightly coated. set aside.

Place a large frying pan over a low-medium fire.

Add the butter/oil and let it heat for a few seconds.

Add the mushrooms, and spread them around the pan.

Fry them until they turn golden brown on both sides.

Alternate the heat between high and medium to crisp them.

The stalks of the oyster mushroom will turn visibly crispy and golden, and the flowery part of the mushroom may turn crispy at the edges.

Avoid adding extra oil as this will make the softer parts soggy.

This would take about 10-15 minutes.

Once the mushroom is fried, place them on a stack of thick paper kitchen towels to remove any excess oil(avoid using softer kitchen paper towels as they would stick to the mushroom).

Leave the frying pan unwashed as you will be using it to assemble the mushroom with the sauce.

How to make the teriyaki sauce.

Add the soy sauce, sugar, and minced garlic to a saucepan. Add a tablespoon of water.

Heat over low heat for the sugar to dissolve.

While the sugar dissolves, add the cornstarch and warm water into a bowl.

Stir until you have a smooth liquid and add this to the mixture in the saucepan.

Stir constantly under low heat for 60 seconds or until the sauce thickens.

Taste and make necessary adjustments as per your need.

Remove the sauce from the stovetop.

Preparing the teriyaki mushrooms.

Transfer the fried mushroom to the frying pan.

Drizzle the teriyaki sauce, along with the tomato sauce(ketchup) over the mushrooms.

Toss the mushrooms over low medium heat for a few minutes until they are well coated with the sauce.

Transfer the teriyaki mushrooms to a platter.

Toast the sesame seeds over low-medium heat for a few seconds and garnish.

Serve the fried mushrooms while still warm and crisp.
