Oyster mushrooms are an excellent mushroom to use in a stir-fry. Their texture and mild flavor are perfect for this quick cook/high heat cooking technique. In this sitr-fry, they play the role that beef would normally play. This perfect meatless meal is best served over a bed of rice.

Serves: 2

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 tbsp avocado oil

  • 1 large spring onion, sliced

  • 1″ knob of ginger, finely diced

  • 2 garlic cloves, finely sliced

  • ½ hot red chilli, finely sliced

  • 9 oz broccoli florets

  • 7 oz oyster mushrooms

  • fresh coriander, to garnish

  • crushed roasted peanuts, to garnish (optional)

MARINADE AND SEASONING

  • 2 tbsp tamari or soy sauce, divided

  • 4 tsp rice wine vinegar, divided

  • 3 tsp maple syrup, divided

  • 4 tsp toasted sesame oil, divided

  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika


    Instructions

    1. Mix the marinade ingredients: 1 tbsp tamari, 2 tsp rice vinegar, 2 tsp maple syrup, 2 tsp sesame oil and 1/2 tsp smoked paprika in a medium mixing bowl. If your mushrooms are on the large side, slice them lengthwise into smaller pieces. Place them in the marinade and mix well so that they get evenly coated. Set aside for at least 30 minutes for the mushrooms to soften and absorb the marinade’s flavors.

    2. Mix the remaining ingredients: 1 tbsp tamari, 2 tsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp maple syrup and 2 tsp sesame oil in a bowl and set aside. This will be used to season the broccoli.

    3. Heat up 2 tsp of avocado oil in a non-stick wok. Add spring onion, garlic, ginger and chili and stir-fry on a medium heat until softened and fragrant, for about 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a large plate and set aside.

    4. Heat up another 2 tsp of oil. Once hot, add marinated mushrooms. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, until lightly browned and softened. Transfer to the plate with the aromatics and set aside.

    5. Finally, heat up another 2 tsp of oil and add the broccoli florets. Stir-fry for 5 minutes until cooked yet still crunchy. Season the broccoli with the mixture you prepared in step 2.

    6. Return the aromatics and cooked mushrooms to the wok. Allow them both to warm up before piling on top of cooked rice. Serve sprinkled with crunched peanuts and fresh coriander.
