Many people enjoy eating garlic oyster mushrooms, but it's important to pay attention to some key techniques when making them. Once you've mastered these techniques, you'll find it easy to prepare them! Let's learn together!

1.Regarding oyster mushrooms:

Oyster mushrooms belong to the Pleurotaceae family and are the largest among them. This family includes edible mushrooms with caps resembling oysters. Most oyster mushrooms have large caps and short stems, growing in clusters. However, oyster mushrooms are quite distinctive because of their large stems. They are highly popular in Asian cuisine as a favored ingredient.

2.The steaming time for oyster mushrooms:

The steaming time for oyster mushrooms is typically recommended to be around 10 minutes. This duration ensures that the mushrooms are neither too tough from insufficient steaming nor lose their texture and nutrients from over-steaming. After steaming, oyster mushrooms can be enjoyed with various seasonings such as garlic, soy sauce, sugar, salt, and pepper. They complement rice dishes and go well with drinks, making them a delicious and healthy culinary choice.

3.How to slice oyster mushrooms?

①When stir-frying oyster mushrooms, it's typical to slice them thinly. Trim off the ends slightly, then slice them to about the thickness of a one-dollar coin. This ensures they cook evenly and thoroughly, with uniform heat distribution.

②If you're planning to use oyster mushrooms for cold dishes, you can slice them into thin strips or shred them by hand into pieces of roughly equal thickness after steaming them.

③If you're cooking oyster mushrooms in soup, it's best to cut them into segments. For soups that simmer for about 2 hours, it's ideal to cut them into pieces about the thickness of a small finger segment. If the cooking time is shorter, you can adjust by cutting them a bit thinner accordingly.

4.How to prepare the sauce for garlic oyster mushrooms?

After chopping green and red peppers along with garlic, mix them with 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of cooking wine, 2 grams of sugar, and a suitable amount of sesame oil until well blended.

5.Tools needed:

When steaming oyster mushrooms, you'll require an electric steamer. An electric steamer is a modern kitchen appliance that uses electrically generated steam to steam a variety of foods.

With these tips in hand, I believe everyone can quickly prepare an authentic dish of garlic oyster mushrooms. You can also adjust the seasoning quantities and add different ingredients according to your taste preferences. Now, let's get started and cook together!
