Vegan Oyster-Style Stir-Fry with Hiratake (Oyster) Mushrooms
An easy vegan oyster-style stir-fry made with hiratake (oyster) mushrooms. Lightly steamed, the mushrooms become plump and juicy, with a texture that reminds me of oysters. Shio koji and aonori — two traditional Japanese seasonings — add umami and a subtle ocean-like flavor. Enjoy it while it's still warm.
