Mushrooms are delicious. Though not my favorite vegetable they rank pretty high up there and as much as I love them grilled on vegetable kebabs during the non-summer months I have to find a different way to make use of them. And so it’s a good thing my mom came up with this awesome and painfully simple mushroom saute recipe. Toss a few different kinds of mushrooms together after sauteeing them, a squeeze of garlic, a dash of red pepper flakes and voila a side dish is complete. I actually could probably eat an entire plate of this but it’s too bad mushrooms completely shrivel up after cooking and 1 pound of mushrooms doesn’t look like much anymore. For a vegan and gluten free starter or side give these mushrooms a try. Feel free to spice these up with more herbs or flavored oils – but I like mine simple, and these are just right.
- 3.5 ounces shiiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 4 ounces oyster mushrooms, sliced
- 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1-2 teaspoons soy sauce (or gluten free tamari)
- Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in saute pan. Add sliced shiitake and cook for a few minutes. Remove.
- In same pan heat 1 teaspoon olive oil and add oyster mushrooms. Cook for a few minutes. Remove.
- In the same pan heat 1 teaspoon olive oil and add baby bella mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally 4-5 minutes then add garlic and reserved mushrooms. Cook for a few minutes, tossing ocassionally.
- Add red pepper flakes and soy sauce. Mix. Serve as a side dish or appetizer.

Why not just saute them all together?
With mushrooms it’s best not to over crowd the pan and let them brown a little bit so I split them up and cook each mushroom type separately. Also sometimes you may want to cook some types less or more than others.
Earthy sauteed mushrooms YUM. I agree with you on the keep it simple, let the mushrooms be the star.

Thanks! Definitely looove mushrooms too! Got to try some new ones in China!
There’s no soy sauce in the ingredients list. How much?
Sorry! Must have accidentally forgotten to post that in the recipe. Just 1 or 2 teaspoons should be enough. Add more if the flavor isn’t strong enough for you.
