Can I use king oyster mushrooms for this recipe?

Yes, you can. King oyster mushrooms are the largest species of oyster mushrooms, so you will probably need to fry them longer. Just check whether they are tender enough before removing them all from heat. You don’t need to cut the stems of these mushrooms, just trimming off the very end of their stem is enough. The best thing about king oyster mushrooms is that they don’t lose their shape when cooked, so they have a nice and tempting look.

Can you eat oyster mushrooms raw?

Well, no. Raw mushrooms taste like nothing. Their amazing flavor comes out when cooked.

Can you freeze these mushrooms?

Yes, you can. It's better to freeze them after they are cooked. Cook them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes and then transfer them into a large bowl of cold water. Put in freezer bags to keep them in the freezer. You can use these frozen mushrooms in soups, scrambled eggs or rice pilaf.

Can they be dehydrated?

Yes, they can be dehydrated. Use a dehydrator for this and store them in jars when they are completely dry. When you want to use them, cook them in boiling water for a few minutes so that the mushrooms get tender. Almost all the flavor is in the broth now. Use it in soups or stews along with the mushrooms. You will see the flavor from dried mushrooms is much better than the fresh.

A pinch of black pepper

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Prepare the mushrooms. Clean them with a slightly damp paper paper towel. Cut them in bite size. You can either remove their thick rubbery stems or leave them.
Melt butter in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Place the mushroom pieces in the hot skillet in a single layer. Cook them until golden and flip them over.
Add in crushed garlic cloves with their skin, chopped green onions, salt and pepper. Cook that side until golden too.
Shake the skillet often and reduce the heat when it is needed until golden. Transfer them in a bowl and repeat the same steps for the remaining mushrooms.
Serve immediately.

Notes

You shouldn't wash or rinse mushrooms. You just need to clean them with a slightly damp paper towel. If you wash the mushrooms under water, they release too much water when you cook them, which is not something desired.
You can either remove the thick stems or leave them. We cook them both ways. The stems are rubbery and chewy, but we are not that bothered.
Don't overload the pan. Fry the mushrooms in batches. Otherwise, they will be steamed.
It's not a good idea to make them ahead of time. They lose their nice texture as they sit, so the best thing is to fry them right before serving.
