Edamame and mushrooms stir-fry (‘毛豆炒杏鲍菇’, máodòu chǎo xìng bào gū) is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that I love to make for my lunch or dinner. This 20-minute recipe is made with fresh frozen edamame beans, King Oyster mushrooms, and then tossed in a simple soy sauce mixture.
Stir-fry is one of my favorite cooking methods to turn vegetables into a flavorful meal. I have lost count as to how many variations of stir-fries that I’ve made at home since the combinations are endless. So, let’s make one of them today with the easy steps below.
How to make Edamame and Mushrooms Stir-Fry
First, sauté the crumbled tofu until golden, then continue to cook the chopped King Oyster mushrooms until fragrant.
Push the two ingredients aside, add a little more oil and sauté the ginger slices until they form a nice brown layer on the side. Add the chili, garlic, and continue to cook for about 30 seconds. I added some toasted sesame oil for more flavor but this step is optional.
Add the sauce, sugar, edamame beans and give it a quick toss until all ingredients are incorporated. Finally, swirl in cornstarch slurry and toss, then serve warm with your favorite grain or with lettuce cups.
Edamame and Mushrooms Stir-Fry Key ingredients
- Spices – I love to add ginger in the mix along with garlic. For anyone who can’t have alliums, ginger is definitely the go-to ingredients for many stir-fries dishes.
- Protein – Tofu is one of my favorite ingredients to use but other alternatives include vegan ham.
- Sauce – In this recipe, I used a mixture of soy sauce with a touch of sugar to create a savory sauce. For more of an umami flavor, you can try my Vegan Stir-Fry sauce which is very similar to vegan oyster sauce.
- Cornstarch slurry – You will find that I love to add a tad bit of this towards the end of my cooking to bind the sauce together plus, it will create a shiny look which gives the dish a more appealing look.
This Edamame and Mushrooms Stir-Fry is
- Easy and Quick-to-make
- Flavorful
- Full of crunchy texture from the edamame beans
- Healthy
- Gluten-free
- Super Delicious

Notes
- I used frozen edamame beans in pods that I thawed first. Then, I removed the beans from the pods. Alternatively, you can use frozen edamame beans that are available at major grocery stores.
- If King Oyster mushrooms are not available, please substitute with shiitake or Bella mushrooms.
- For more of an umami sauce, try my umami vegan stir-fry sauce which is similar to vegan oyster sauce.
