Blue Oyster

With a lovely soft texture, Oyster mushrooms are quite mild with a subtle earthy flavor, and while they can be eaten raw, they’re typically best when cooked.

There is a secret key “ingredient” added when cooking Oyster mushrooms over high heat on the stove: caramelization!

There’s something magical about caramelized mushrooms.

Pan frying the Oyster mushrooms to caramelize them intensifies their earthy flavor, brings the natural sugars to the surface, and adds a delicious crispness around the soft texture of the mushrooms.
