They’re earthy and have a hint of licorice’s bittersweet taste.
So why not give one of these oyster mushroom recipes a try? You won’t be disappointed!
1. Sautéed Oyster Mushrooms with Garlic
I love mushrooms, but I don’t always like them alone or as a main ingredient. Sometimes, they’re just too overpowering.
That’s not the case with oyster mushrooms, though. I can eat those by themselves or as the main ingredient at any time.
That’s especially true when they’re buttery and covered in garlic.
This recipe almost tastes like a high-quality seafood dish. It’s filling, succulent, and ridiculously delicious.
Plus, you can make it with just five ingredients (plus salt and pepper).
Enjoy it alone or on top of pasta. (It’s not bad on top of a juicy steak, either!) However you choose to serve it, it’s sure to be a hit.
2. Teriyaki Oyster Mushroom Steak
Don’t let your eyes deceive you. That’s not steak or even teriyaki chicken you’re seeing. Instead, it’s a 100% vegetarian-friendly dish.
You’ll need fewer than ten ingredients to make this “steak” dinner. And though it’s entirely meatless, it’s just as filling as a real steak.
The mushroom’ steak’ is saucy, chewy, and meaty. The bok choy is crunchy and flavorful.
Together, they make a complete meal that anyone can enjoy.
3. Garlic Butter Oyster Mushrooms
This recipe is similar to the sautéed oyster mushrooms above. It’s just as rich, buttery, and garlicky.
The primary difference is that you add soy sauce to this one.
It gives it a more robust, Asian-like flavor that’s really enjoyable. If you like Chinese takeout, you’ll love these garlicky mushrooms.
4. Pan-Fried Oyster Mushrooms
Here’s another garlic mushroom treat. These pan-fried mushrooms take 20 minutes to make and are phenomenal.
They’re crispy, buttery, and supremely herb-flavored.
You can serve them as a side dish or enjoy them alone. They’re a relatively healthy snack food option.
Just be sure you don’t use too much oil. They’ll feel too greasy if you do.
5. Creamy Mushrooms on Toast
This 10-minute meal makes an excellent quick and healthy lunch. It’s creamy, earthy, and flavorful to the max.
It’ll remind you of beef stroganoff, only without the beef and noodles.
And the contrast between the crunchy toast and creamy, saucy mushrooms is delightful.
6. Stuffed Zucchini Boats
Move over, stuffed peppers! Stuffed zucchini boats are here, and I’m here for them!
These flavorful, veggie-packed zucchini boats are exquisite. They’re comforting, nutritious, and full of yummy flavors.
They’re vegan-friendly and loaded down with healthy ingredients. There are onions, mushrooms, zucchini, peppers, and more.
Finally, the vegan cheese gets gooey and melty and ties everything together. If you don’t try these, you’re missing out.
7. Vegan Mushroom Paella
Vegan mushroom paella smells and looks as good as it tastes. It’s a mishmash of fragrant, colorful, and tasty ingredients.
It’s dense and filling with plenty of spices and seasonings. It takes a little over an hour to make, but it’s worth every moment.
Even though it’s full of veggies, it’s a meal the whole family will love. Even your kiddos will clean their plates and ask for more.
8. Thai Oyster Mushroom Noodle Stir-Fry
Want something that’ll make your whole house smell delicious? Give this Thai oyster mushroom noodle stir-fry a try.
It smells so good that you’ll be drooling before it’s even ready.
It’s a garlicky, spicy, vegan meal option that’s sure to delight. It’ll heat up your mouth, but you’ll love every bite.
(Plus, it’s not so hot that you’ll have tears streaming down your face.)
Whip it up the next time you’re craving Asian food.
9. Teriyaki King Oyster Mushroom
People always come up with vegan recipes that they claim are “better than meat.”
Unfortunately, meat lovers don’t usually agree. I’m often in the same boat.
While I genuinely love many vegan recipes, few are “better than meat.” However, I can honestly say that these teriyaki mushrooms are.
They have the same Asian flavor as teriyaki beef or chicken. However, they’re fresher, less greasy, and not so heavy.
They’re everything you love about Asian food. (Minus the overloaded stomach after eating it!) Check them out for yourself. You’ll see what I mean.
10. Vegan Polenta with Roasted Mushrooms
This vegan polenta is creamy, thick, and well-seasoned. The roasted mushrooms are chewy, savory, and superb.
Together, they make an unbeatable combination.
I would never have considered adding mushrooms to polenta. Luckily, I found this recipe. It’s a delicious, 30-minute meal that’s sure to satisfy.
Try it on an evening when you don’t want to spend much time on dinner. You’ll be glad you did.
