This mushrooms stir-fry recipe is delicious, quick, and made with a just few simple ingredients. If you haven’t tried oyster mushrooms, this dish is for you. Let’s check out how to make this appetizing meal with the easy steps below.

Stir-fry dishes are easy to prepare and simple to make so they’re always my favorite go-to meals to make for lunch or dinner. Mushrooms are delicious! I normally use dried Shiitake or other mushrooms for soups and sauces. Today, mushrooms are the stars of this stir-fry.

A good combination of spices and sauces make the best stir fry. I love to use ginger and this homemade all-purpose stir fry sauce or store-bought vegan oyster sauce.

How to make Mushrooms Stir-Fry

First, clean the fresh mushrooms using a damp paper towel or a pastry brush to remove dirt. I prefer this way of cleaning the mushrooms compared to rinsing them directly with water.

Mushrooms soak up water easily so this method prevents mushrooms from turning soggy while cooking. Then, prepare all the veggies, sauces, and spices, then set aside until ready to use.

Step 1: Sauté ginger in oil over medium high heat until golden brown. Then, continue to sauté garlic until aromatic.

Step 2: Add in the mushrooms and continue to cook until the mushrooms turn slightly brown.

Step 3: Then, add in the chopped onions and the rest of the vegetables and give it a quick toss.

Step 4: Add in a squeeze of lime juice. I love to add citrus into my savory dishes to bring out more flavors. Then, follow with the remaining sauces and end it with a swirl of the cornstarch slurry to bind the sauces together.

Mushrooms stir-fry without alliums

As mentioned above, ginger is one of my favorite spices to add to any stir-fry dish. So for stir-fry dishes without alliums, I would do only ginger, the rest of the ingredients, and add in cilantro instead of green onions.

Vegetables addition choices

  • Celery – not only is celery healthy and tasty, but it also adds an amazing crunch to any dish. Other great alternatives include leek and cabbage
  • Mushrooms – most mushrooms are great for stir-fries, though some may need special handling or a longer cooking time like the dried lion’s mane mushroom
  • Green onion – adds a touch of sweetness to this dish, and for allium free, sub with cilantro.
