Ingredients You’ll Need
- butter — feel free to be more generous with the butter. I use unsalted butter.
- shimeji mushrooms — also known as beech mushrooms, are a very common mushroom found in Japan but are cultivated in North America, Europe, and Australia as well. They have a nutty, savory flavor and grow from an interconnected base. You’ll have to cut off the base at the bottom to prepare the mushrooms for cooking. There are a number of varieties of shimeji mushrooms, such as white shimeji, which is also known as white beech mushroom. This recipe uses brown beech mushrooms/brown shimeji mushrooms.
- salt — just a pinch.
- garlic — if you have the time, I recommend mincing garlic ahead of time and freezing it so you’ll have minced garlic ready to go whenever you need it! It saves me a ton of time.
- soy sauce — I use low sodium soy sauce.
- sesame seeds — I love topping the mushrooms with some toasted sesame seeds for a bit of crunch. I also like to garnish with green onions.
How to Make Stir Fried Shimeji Mushroom
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the mushrooms to the skillet and saute for 5 minutes. Add more butter if needed.
- Add the salt and minced garlic.
- Saute for another minute before adding the soy sauce.
- Saute for 4 minutes, garnish with sesame seeds, and serve.
Recipe Tips and Notes
- To prepare the mushrooms, I first cut the base of the mushroom bundle and then separate the stalks of the mushrooms. I also give the mushrooms a quick rinse if they look dirty. Make sure to pat them dry with a paper towel if you rinse them.
- You can also finish the mushrooms with a splash of toasted sesame oil for extra nutty flavor.
Make Ahead Tips
- Meal prep: once cooled, store the cooked mushrooms in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the fridge.
- Freezer: while cooked beech mushrooms are freezer-friendly, I have not tried to freeze this recipe.
