Oyster Mushroom-green bean stir-fry. a wonderfully simple recipe to make. grab a pan and see how easy it is to make .
If you love Asian flavors and quick dishes then you need to try this dish, Oyster mushrooms,slivers of garlic and a dash of Hoisin sauce which adds a much-needed sweet and salt flavor to the dish is a simpler version of describing today’s recipe.
Beans and Oysters are a great combination for a stir-fry, these two ingredients are so versatile, I think they need to be cooked and enjoyed as much as possible.
As you know both Oyster mushrooms and Beans, under heat, cook fast so while being mindful that you don’t overcook the vegetables. You can create the dish within 20-30 minutes.
I usually use Coconut milk with my beans as the liquid adds more creaminess to the curries or anything that comes out of my kitchen, it’s what you might call a Sri lankan thing.
I have to confess, I was itching to add some Coconut milk, should I should I not? glad I didn’t, because it’s different and if you are cooking a spicy chicken main dish then this Oyster mushroom and bean stir-fry will be a great addition to bring down the heat of the latter dish. As always, just like my creamy carrot and Bean curry , this dish is child friendly as well.

What if I don’t have Hoisin sauce, is there a substitute?
I have two options for you,
If you are not able to find Hoisin sauce in a hurry then make the Oyster mushroom-Bean dish without the sauce, taste it, do you like the taste? then leave it as it is and enjoy.
But if you taste and find that there is something missing to give the dish much-needed flavor then substitute Hoisin sauce with 1 tablespoon of Soy sauce and 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, mix and use as mentioned in recipe instruction.

Can I substitute Oyster mushroom with Button mushrooms or canned mushrooms?
The reason I chose Oyster mushroom is because once you sauté them, the slightly brown edges and bite really helps to add a different texture to the dish, I am not sure Button mushroom does it but if you really don’t have a substitute then why not try with Button mushroom?
Make sure to let me know how it goes with the substitute.
Can I make the following mushroom bean stir-fry into a complete meal?
