Here’s a simple, tasty garlic butter oyster mushroom recipe you can make in under 15 minutes:

🍄 Garlic Butter Oyster Mushrooms

Ingredients (2 servings):

• 200g oyster mushrooms (cleaned & torn into bite-sized pieces)

• 2 tbsp butter (or olive oil for vegan)

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari)

• Salt & black pepper, to taste

• Fresh parsley or green onions, chopped (for garnish)

• Optional: a squeeze of lemon

Instructions:

1. Prep mushrooms – Gently clean and tear into strips (don’t slice too thin, they shrink while cooking).

2. Heat pan – Add butter to a skillet over medium-high heat.

3. Sauté garlic – Add minced garlic, cook until fragrant (30 sec).

4. Cook mushrooms – Toss in oyster mushrooms, spread them out, and let them sear without stirring for 2–3 minutes (this gives them a nice golden edge).

5. Season – Stir, then add soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook another 2–3 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.

6. Finish & serve – Garnish with parsley or green onion, and a squeeze of lemon if you like.

👉 Serve as a side dish, on toast, with rice/noodles, or tossed into pasta.
