What to serve with teriyaki mushroom stir fry.

Best tips to make the teriyaki mushroom stir fry.

  • You can use any type of mushroom to make the teriyaki stir fry but I find oyster mushrooms works 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 which means they can go straight to the cooking pan.
  • Brown the mushroom 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.
  • 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.

RECIPE DIFFICULTY- EASY

How to make teriyaki mushroom stir fry

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

Method

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 in colour 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 turn 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.
