Ingredients

- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp sugar
Cooking method
Step 1
Make the sauce. In a bowl, combine lemon juice, soy sauce, and sugar. Stir until the sugar completely dissolves. Add garlic and olive oil. Let the sauce infuse for 30 minutes.
Step 2
Pour oil into a well-heated frying pan and add mushrooms. Fry stirring occasionally for 5 minutes. Add lemon-soy sauce, stir well, remove from heat and serve.

My tips and tricks:
When you fry oyster mushrooms, they lose their moisture very quickly. Therefore, never cook them for a long time, only do it over high heat and with a lot of oil. If you have a wok, it’s best to use it. And if you want your oyster mushrooms to become even more beautiful, then 2 minutes before the end of cooking, add 1 tbsp sugar and mix well. The sugar will coat the mushrooms and they will become shiny. And don’t worry, little sugar won’t affect the taste.
