Ingredients
- 1 pound shiitake mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
- 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Clean mushrooms: Gently wipe the shiitake mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt and then slice them evenly.
- Heat oil: Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it is shimmering but not smoking.
- Brown mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook without stirring for about 3 minutes to allow them to brown and develop flavor. Then stir and cook for an additional 2 minutes until tender.
- Add garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute or until the garlic is fragrant, taking care not to burn it.
- Season: Sprinkle salt and black pepper to taste, adjust seasoning as needed, then remove from heat.
- Serve: Immediately garnish with chopped green onions and serve warm as a flavorful side or topping.
Notes
- Be careful not to overcrowd the skillet to ensure mushrooms brown properly instead of steaming.
- Use fresh shiitake mushrooms for the best flavor and texture.
- Green onions add a nice fresh, mild onion flavor as garnish; you can substitute with chives if preferred.
- This dish pairs well with rice, noodles, or grilled meats.
