Stir-fried Mushrooms and Eggs

– Mushrooms: 250g button mushrooms, sliced

– Eggs: 3 large eggs, lightly beaten

– Garlic: 2 cloves, minced

– Ginger: 1 small piece, minced (optional)

– Scallions: 2 stalks, finely chopped (for garnish)

– Soy Sauce: 2 tablespoons

– Oyster Sauce: 1 tablespoon (optional, adds umami)

– Cooking Oil: 2 tablespoons

– Black Pepper: To taste

– Salt: To taste

1. Prepare the Mushrooms: Clean and slice the mushrooms. Pat them dry with a paper towel to prevent excess moisture during cooking.

2. Stir-fry the Mushrooms: Heat the cooking oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and ginger (if using) and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the mushrooms and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until they soften and release some liquid.

3. Add the Eggs: Push the mushrooms to one side of the pan. Pour in the beaten eggs and cook, stirring gently, until they are set but still slightly moist.

4. Combine and Season: Mix the cooked eggs and mushrooms together. Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir-fry for another minute to combine the flavors.

5. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with chopped scallions and serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.

Tips and Variations:

– Mushroom Variety: Feel free to experiment with other types of mushrooms like shiitake or cremini.

– Spice Level: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicier dish.

– Vegetables: Add other vegetables like bell peppers or broccoli for extra nutrition and flavor.

– Sauce Adjustment: Adjust the amount of soy sauce and oyster sauce to your liking.
