Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound oyster mushrooms torn into bite-size pieces
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 green onions sliced, white and green parts separated, divided
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari for gluten free
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • to taste salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the mushrooms and garlic and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant and the mushrooms start to brown.
  2. Reduce the heat to medium, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and stir. Cover the skillet and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have softened and released their juices.
  3. Remove the lid and if there is too much liquid, cook uncovered for 1 to 2 minutes over medium heat until it evaporates. Stir in the soy sauce and toasted sesame oil.
  4. Take the skillet off the heat, add half of the sliced green onions, and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve topped with the remaining green onions.

Notes

Use a large skillet to avoid overcrowding; otherwise the mushrooms will steam instead of brown.
Substitute tamari or coconut aminos to keep the recipe gluten free.
Toasted sesame oil adds a nutty flavor; do not swap for regular sesame oil.
These mushrooms can be made ahead and reheated gently, but they taste best fresh.
Leftovers keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Serve alongside grilled steak, chicken, or over steamed rice for a quick meal.
