Equipment

  • Cast-Iron Skillet
  • Non-stick frying pan

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Tbsp Olive oil not extra virgin for cooking
  • 6 oz Button mushrooms
  • 2 oz Shiitake mushrooms
  • 2 cloves Garlic finely chopped
  • 1 Tbsp Soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 Tbsp Parsley fresh

Instructions
 

  • Gently wash any dirt off of them by using a damp paper towel.
  • If they are really dirty, quickly rinse them using a colander or a sieve. Dry them with a clean kitchen cloth.
  • We only peel button mushrooms if they have been in the fridge for some time and brown spots or indentations appear on the surface.
  • If you peel them then your mushrooms will be nice-looking again.
  • Button mushrooms release more water than shiitake, so they will shrink more too.
  • Slice them not thinner than ¼ inch (0.5 cm).
  • Pre-heat the frying pan to high heat and add oil.
  • When the pan is hot enough, you will hear the sliced mushrooms sizzle.
  • If you see any liquid hold off adding any more ingredients before it steams off.
  • When the mushroom slices are golden brown and no excess water, lower the heat to medium and add finely chopped garlic and soy sauce.
  • Cook them until the mushroom absorbs the soy sauce and the garlic is golden brown.
  • As the last step, you can add some freshly chopped parsley.
  • Stir for a bit, but don't let your parsley get brown.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • Don't add salt: Don’t add salt while cooking as the mushrooms will release even more water.
  • Heat is key: The frying pan has to be HOT, otherwise, the mushrooms will be cooked in their own moisture.
  • Drain if necessary: If they release too much water and it takes a long time to cook it off, just simply drain them.
  • Use the right pan: You can definitely use a wok or a heavy pan like a cast-iron skillet.
