Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 8 oz mushrooms, white button  (or mushrooms of choice)
  • 3 garlic cloves (1 tsp minced)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp red crushed pepper (chili flakes)
  • salt if needed ( I dont add extra salt but feel free to drizzle some if you need it)

Method
 

  1. Quickly rinse the mushrooms 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. Second, chop the large mushrooms into 4 pieces and small ones to 2.
  2. When you are ready to cook in a heavy-bottom skillet on medium heat, add in unsalted butter.
  3. In about 30 seconds, add in mushrooms. Further, let them cook for 3 to 4 minutes until soft and until the mushrooms leave water and reduce slightly in size.
  4. Add in the garlic and let the mushrooms cook for a minute in garlic. Next, add in the soy sauce and let it sauté for a minute until the liquid evaporates.
     
  5. Finally, top off with crushed red pepper and black pepper and turn off heat.

Notes

I have not added salt since soy sauce has its own salt. You can add additional salt if needed.
