🌊Ingredients
The ingredients are just so simple.
- hiratake(oyster) mushrooms: I used Shimofuri Hiratake from Hokuto, which you can find at most supermarkets in Japan.
- Sake: When I'm cooking mushrooms, I like to spray them with water or sprinkle sake on them and steam them. This helps to bring out their umami flavor.
- Shio koji (塩麹): Shio koji is the secret to a delicious vegan oyster stir-fry! You can use store-bought shio koji or make your own.
- Aonori (青のり/ dried green lavers) : This is another secret to the recipe. It adds a nice seafood flavor to the dish and makes it taste more like a real oyster.

🧜Instructions
The key to juicy, delicious Veang Oyster Stir-Fry is quick steaming instead of frying.
- Steaming: Place the oyster mushrooms in a frying pan with oil and toss to coat. Heat the pan over low heat. When the pan is warm and sizzling, add the sake, cover and steam for about a minute over low heat.
- Seasoning: Open the lid, add seasonings and stir-fry quickly. Serve on a plate while still hot. Dig in!
🪸Tools
- frying pan (Yanagi Sori )
- cooking chopsticks
🐚Storage
It is best to taste them freshly prepared and enjoy plump and juicy Vegan Oyster Stir-Fry. So it is best not to store them if possible.
🦀Seasoning Tips
The secret to making it tasty is to add just a touch of aonori. Hiratake mushrooms already have a unique, oyster-like flavor, so adding too much aonori will mask that. Try adding it a little at a time as you taste.
Also, keep the heat low to preserve the oyster mushrooms' moisture and flavor. If you overcook the hiratake mushrooms, they'll get soggy, so be careful and cook them just right.
🐠Frequently Asked Questions
Hiratake mushrooms soak up moisture pretty easily, so it's best to use them without washing. If you're worried about contamination, use a wet cloth to quickly wipe them off before use to preserve their texture and nutrients.
