Chinese Steamed Mushrooms Recipe
These Steamed Mushrooms are a simple recipe you can make in under 20 minutes! I am using simple button mushrooms, but you can use other varieties as well. My family loves it when I make this dish, and it pairs well with almost anything. The sauce is very rich and flavorful.
Ingredients
- 1 pound mushrooms (any mix of button, cremini, shiitake, oyster, enoki, etc.)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon powder (see notes)
- 1 teaspoon shaoxing wine
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic (minced)
- ¼ teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 scallion (sliced, greens and whites separated)
Instructions
- Slice the mushrooms in half vertically. For shiitake, oyster, and cremini mushrooms, cut off and discard their tough stems. Rinse under cold running water and spin dry in a salad spinner.
- Combine all the ingredients (excluding scallion greens) in a large mixing bowl and mix well, then transfer to a deep plate or pie dish. Pack the mushrooms as tightly as possible so that they bathe in the sauce as they cook.
- Steam over medium-high heat for 10 minutes. Sprinkle scallion greens on top and serve with rice!
Notes
Chicken bouillon powder: I recommend Totole Chicken Soup Base for Chinese dishes. It's a secret ingredient in Chinese American takeout restaurants. It has a really nice umami flavor.
