Method
-
Trim the mushroom clusters
Cut off the tough base and weigh out 200 g. Tear the thick mushrooms lengthwise once or twice to make the pieces about as thick as the slender ones.
-
Rinse and dry the mushrooms
Rinse briefly under running water, then drain in a strainer. If they are very wet, blot gently with a clean paper towel.
-
Slice the carrot and onion
Cut the carrot 20 g and onion 50 g into fine strips. Thinly slice the green onion 12 g and set aside.
-
Stir-fry the carrot and onion
If the mushrooms cannot fit in one layer, divide the oil, vegetables and seasonings in the same ratio across batches. Heat the oil 10 g in a wide skillet over medium heat. Stir-fry the carrot for about 1 minute, then add the onion and cook another minute, until its edges turn translucent.
-
Stir-fry the mushrooms
Spread the mushrooms across the skillet and stir-fry over medium-high heat for 3–4 minutes, until evenly tender and almost all pooled water has evaporated.
-
Add soup soy sauce and green onion
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic 3 g, soup soy sauce 1/2 T and green onion. Toss for 30 seconds to 1 minute, then turn off the heat once the garlic is fragrant.
-
Mix in sesame oil and seeds
Off the heat, add the sesame oil 4 g and toasted sesame seeds 2 g and toss. Refrigerate leftovers at 4°C or colder within 2 hours, or within 1 hour if the room temperature is above 32°C.
