This is a bumble stir-frying recipe with brown and white beech mushrooms. This time, I also added oyster mushrooms. It is a quick, savory Chinese stir fry, and you can transfer it into vegan by using mushroom vegan oyster sauce.
The ingredient – Shimeji mushroom
Shimeji is an edible mushroom that originated in Asia. Now they are almost everywhere in the world, also called beach mushrooms. The most popular and common types are white and brown beach mushrooms. I mix the two types.
Other mushrooms you may use
If you don’t know where to get beach mushrooms, you can substitute other mushrooms. My recommendation includes shiitake, button, and oyster mushrooms. I mix in around 1/3 oyster mushroom in this stir fry.
Step by Step Instructions
The preparation of shimeji is quite simple; just cut off the tough end because both stem and stalk are great.
Wash it or not: If you are using high-quality mushrooms, you can simply skip the washing process. Sometimes, though, just like me, I still want to clean before using. Rinse under running water very quickly and then set aside to drain completely.
Heat oil in a wok. Add green onion whites and ginger shreds, and fry over low heat until slightly browned and seared.
Then, place the mushrooms in. Here comes the most important tip—simmer this for 2-3 minutes until the water has almost evaporated.
Then, oyster sauce and soy sauce, mix in sesame oil, and sprinkle some ground pepper.
Decorate with a collection of scallion green, and that’s our easy and straightforward mushroom stir fry.
My favorite mushroom recipes
I love mushrooms for their unique taste and nutrition. Autumn is one of the best seasons for mushrooms, and this is a super easy oyster mushroom with black peppers. I love to make chicken soup with mushrooms, sometimes deep-frying to create a crispy shell. You can also match it with curry. This one is a more humble and easy mushroom stir-frying. By the way, I highly recommend my pan-fried king oyster mushrooms to mushroom lovers. It got so much good feedback.

Thank you!
I made it., It was delicious
I just bought a bunch of white beech mushrooms yesterday and was looking for a great recipe. The stir fry recipe sounds really good and I will try it out today. Thanks for sharing this.
This was a great, easy recipe for a weeknight dinner. Thanks Elaine!
Thanks so much TL for your lovely comment. Happy cooking.
I LOVE this dish! My only change was I added the “fake” noodles found in the produce dept.
Why is the carb count so high for this recipe?
I’m making it again tonight. I think I’ll increase the sauce, just a tiny bit, due to adding the “noodles” (no carbs). Great recipe and so easy.
Regina,
I checked the nutrition facts and found that the crab comes from the cooking oil.
So easy to prepare and incredibly delicious!
Thank you Lisa!
