DESCRIPTION

How to cook King Oyster Mushrooms perfectly, for a side dish, appetizer, or to add to another recipe.


Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp. cooking oil
  • 1 Tbsp. butter
  • 56 king oyster mushroom slices*, about 1/3 inch thick
  • Salt

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot and butter is frothy. Stir.
  2. Add the mushroom slices, pressing down on them to give good contact with the skillet.
  3. Cook until well-browned underneath, 2-3 minutes. Flip slices over, sprinkle lightly with salt and then continue to cook until browned on the bottom, another 2-3 minutes.
  4. Transfer mushrooms to a plate and serve as is or use in a recipe.

Notes

*This is equivalent to about 2 whole king oyster mushrooms, sliced lengthwise. If slicing them widthwise to make medallions (like to use as vegan scallops), you’ll slice them a bit thicker, 3/4-inch. Then you’ll get about 4 per mushroom, depending on size. You will follow the recipe as written above, but they’ll need just an extra minute per side when cooking.
