Garlic Butter Oyster Mushrooms
Garlic Butter Oyster Mushrooms feature oyster mushrooms sautéed with soy sauce, olive oil, and butter, then finished with garlic and fresh herbs. The mushrooms have a tender texture with lightly browned edges from gentle pan cooking. The combination of garlic and butter adds fragrant richness, while soy sauce enhances the umami depth. This simple side highlights the unique texture and mild flavor of oyster mushrooms with minimal seasoning.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds oyster mushrooms
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 clove garlic minced
- parsley or other herbs for garnish, optional, chopped, fresh
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Wipe the oyster mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt or debris if needed.
- Cut oyster mushrooms into individual mushrooms (and cut in half if they are large). Remove about ½ of the bottom stem.
- Preheat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Toss mushrooms with soy sauce and add to the skillet.
- Stir to gently coat with oil and then allow mushrooms to cook 3-4 minutes without stirring or until browned on one side. Stir and continue cooking until mushrooms are tender.
- Push the mushrooms to one side and add the butter and garlic to the pan. Cook for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Stir into the mushrooms and cook 1 minute more.
- Season with parsley, salt & pepper to taste.
Notes
- Clean oyster mushrooms gently with a damp paper towel to avoid excess water absorption.
- Remove tougher bottom stem portion before cooking for better texture.
- Fresh herbs can be added before serving for added flavor and color.
- Rinsing mushrooms is not recommended but, if needed, do so briefly and pat dry immediately.
