How do I make this Pepper Mushroom Stir Fry – Easy Mushroom recipe?
Mushrooms – I have used baby bella mushrooms. You could substitute any of your favorite mushrooms.
Prep the mushrooms-
Wipe the mushrooms off with a paper towel if they are NOT really dirty. If they are, quickly rinse them and dry them with a paper towel. I like to remove the bottom of the stem which is frequently dirty and sometimes a bit woody. Chop the mushrooms into 2 halves if small, or 4 pieces if large.
Cook-
Now, when it’s time to cook the mushrooms, make sure to choose the right pan/skillet. Use one that’s big enough to hold the total amount of mushrooms. I typically use a stainless-steel pan/skillet.
First, in a large, heavy-bottom skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Second, add in mustard seeds, ginger- garlic paste, curry leaves, dried whole red chili peppers and stir fry for about a minute to 2 minutes until the mustard seeds splutter.
Third, add in onions and cook until they are golden brown. Stir intermittently. Furthermore, add in ground turmeric, ground coriander, ground cumin, red chili powder, and cook on high heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Next add in mushrooms, black pepper, and salt. Let it cook on high heat for about 2 to 3 minutes until the mushrooms leave water and reduce slightly in size. Cooking on high heat prevents them from becoming soggy. Finally, turn off the heat and serve.
