Stir-fried King Oyster Mushrooms with Peppers

Stir-Fried King Oyster Mushrooms

静
The recipe we are going to make today is a vegetarian dish called Stir-fried King Oyster Mushrooms (pleurotus eryngii). King oyster mushrooms have a buttery, umami flavor, and a texture similar to eggplant. In China, we fry them, red-braise them with soy sauce, and use them in soup to make a variety of delicious dishes. Today I chose to cook king oyster mushrooms by stir-frying. This is a fairly simple recipe, but it is a two-stage cooking process: the mushroom slices are lightly browned in hot oil before being added to the stir-fry. Pleurotus eryngii is rich in protein and is used in Traditional Chinese Medicine. King oyster mushrooms have anti-oxidant, anti-hyperlipidemic, anti-tumor, and anti-inflammatory properties, and benefit the immune system.
