Tips and questions for making teriyaki mushrooms.

• You can use any type of mushrooms 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.

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