Ingredients (serves 2)
- 150 g fresh Golden Oyster mushrooms (from your grow kit)
- 150 g mixed vegetables (e.g., bell pepper, carrot, snap peas)
- 30 ml soy sauce
- 15 ml sesame oil
- 10 ml sunflower or rapeseed oil (for frying)
- 10 g fresh ginger, finely grated
- 5 g garlic, minced
- 5 ml rice vinegar
- 3 g sugar or maple syrup (optional, for balance)
- 2 g sesame seeds (optional garnish)
Instructions
1. Prepare the mushrooms
Gently clean the Golden Oysters with a soft brush or cloth. Keep small clusters whole for better texture and presentation.
2. Prepare the vegetables
Slice the vegetables into thin strips for quick cooking.
3. Stir-fry aromatics
Heat the frying oil in a wok or large pan over medium-high heat. Add the ginger and garlic, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Add the mushrooms & vegetables
Increase the heat to high. Add mushrooms and vegetables, stir-frying for 3–4 minutes until just tender but still crisp.
5. Add the sauce
Pour in soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and sugar if using. Toss for another 1–2 minutes to coat evenly.
6. Serve

Tips for the Best Golden Oyster Stir-Fry
- Freshly harvested mushrooms from your Golden Oyster grow kit keep their texture and color better than store-bought.
- High heat is key — it seals in flavor and keeps vegetables crisp.
- Don’t overcook the mushrooms; they should be tender with a slight bite.
