Ingredients
- 400 grams Cremini mushrooms (or button mushrooms)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 tablespoon Low sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- 2 stalks Scallions (thinly sliced, green parts only)
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel. Trim the stems if necessary and slice the mushrooms evenly, about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the low sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, and honey (or maple syrup). Stir well and set aside.
Step 3
Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sesame oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Step 4
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until aromatic, taking care not to let it burn.
Step 5
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet in a single layer. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and beginning to release their juices.
Step 6
Pour the soy sauce mixture over the mushrooms and toss to coat evenly. Stir-fry for an additional 1-2 minutes as the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from the heat and season with freshly ground black pepper to taste. Sprinkle with thinly sliced scallions and optional red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a side dish, or pair with steamed rice or quinoa for a complete meal. Enjoy!
