Stir-fried Eggs with Shiitake Mushrooms is a simple and savory home-style dish. The umami from the mushrooms infuses the tender eggs, creating a dish that’s incredibly flavorful and satisfying. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create something truly delicious.
🌴 Ingredients:
· 3 eggs (beaten)
· 5-6 dried shiitake mushrooms (soaked, sliced)
· 1 green bell pepper (shredded, optional)
🌴 Aromatics:
· 2-3 cloves minced garlic
· 1 stalk chopped scallion
🌴 Seasonings:
· 1 tbsp light soy sauce (about 10ml)
· 1 tbsp oyster sauce (about 10ml)
· A pinch of sugar (to enhance flavor)
· A pinch of white pepper powder
· Salt, to taste
· Cooking oil, as needed
🌴 Instructions:
- Scramble the Eggs
Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and white pepper. Heat oil in a pan, pour in the eggs, and scramble until just set. Set aside. ⚠️ Note: Don’t overcook the eggs. I’ve tried cooking them too long, and they turned dry and rubbery. - Stir-fry the Mushrooms
Add a little oil to the pan, sauté the garlic until fragrant. Add the sliced mushrooms and stir-fry over medium heat for 2 minutes to release their umami. If using green pepper, add it and stir-fry together. ⚠️ Note: Make sure to cook the mushrooms until fragrant for the best flavor. I’ve tried undercooking them, and the flavor was weak. - Combine and Serve
Add the scrambled eggs back to the pan, add the light soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Stir-fry quickly over high heat to combine. Sprinkle with scallion and serve. ⚠️ Note: Be quick to keep the eggs tender. I’ve tried cooking too long, and the eggs absorbed all the sauce and became dry.
💡 Tips:
The key to Stir-fried Eggs with Shiitake Mushrooms is “tender eggs, savory mushrooms.” Scramble the eggs first and set aside; don’t overcook them. Cook the mushrooms until fragrant for the best umami. Be quick when combining to keep the eggs tender.
