Pan-Fried Blue Oyster Mushroom Recipe

If you want to make a pan-friend blue oyster mushroom side dish it can be super simple and mouth-wateringly delicious. The recipe below uses a couple of Asian ingredients to complement the umami flavor of the mushroom. 

• 200 grams (give or take) blue oyster mushroom, cleaned and separated
• 1 tablespoon of salted butter 
• 2 cloves of garlic, finely minced
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce or tamari 
• splash of rice vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil 
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

1. Heat your skillet or frying pan over medium heat for a few minutes until your mushroom squeaks when you rub it across the bottom of the pan.
2. Add your blue oyster mushrooms to the skillet and let them toast on one side for about 2 minutes, until they start to brown.
3. Stir the mushrooms and let them toast another minute or two. 
4. Add the butter, garlic, soy sauce, and rice vinegar, stirring to combine.
5. Reduce the heat to low and let them caramelize together until they become dark brown and a little crispy. Stir them every so often to prevent any burning. 
6. Once cooked, remove from heat and stir in the toasted sesame oil and sesame seeds. 
7. Serve and enjoy!
