A delightful stir-fried mushroom dish infused with the rich flavors of sesame and ginger, perfect as a side or main dish.
Heat half of the peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the oil to prevent sticking.
Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they release their liquid, about 5 minutes.
Do not overcrowd the skillet to allow the mushrooms to cook evenly.
Increase the heat to high and continue cooking until the liquid evaporates, about 8 minutes.
Stir occasionally to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
Add the remaining peanut oil and cook the mushrooms until they are golden brown, about 5 minutes.
Adding oil at this stage enhances the caramelization of the mushrooms.
Stir in the sesame seeds and ginger, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Toast the sesame seeds beforehand for a deeper flavor.
Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar, stirring until the liquid evaporates, about 2 minutes.
Adjust the seasoning to your taste at this stage.
Remove from heat and drizzle with sesame oil. Garnish with scallions and serve.
Serve immediately to enjoy the dish at its best.
