Crispy Soy Sauce Mushrooms

Crispy Soy Sauce Mushrooms are a delectable dairy-free Chinese BBQ dish featuring tender mushrooms marinated in a savory soy sauce blend, then pan-fried to perfection. This dish delivers a satisfying crunch and an umami-rich flavor that pairs beautifully with steamed rice or noodles.

Ingredients

• Button mushrooms - 250 grams
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, minced
• Cornstarch - 3 tablespoons
• Vegetable oil - 3 tablespoons (for frying)
• Green onions - 2, sliced (for garnish)
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon (for garnish)

Steps

1. Clean the button mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove the stems. If they're large, cut them in half or quarters for even cooking.
2. In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and minced ginger to create a marinade.
3. Add the cleaned mushrooms to the marinade and let them soak for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
4. After marinating, sprinkle the cornstarch over the mushrooms and toss gently until they are well coated.
5. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the coated mushrooms in a single layer, ensuring they do not overcrowd the pan.
6. Fry the mushrooms for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. You may need to do this in batches.
7. Once cooked, transfer the mushrooms to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
8. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
