Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
1poundsPortobello, cremini or button mushrooms
1tablespoonOlive oil
tablespoonSoy sauce
2Scallions, chopped
1tablespoonSesame seeds roasted and ground

Directions

1. Remove and discard the sandy ends of the mushroom stems. Wash the mushrooms under a light spray of cold water. Chop the mushroom caps and stems.

2. Place a wok or large cast-iron skillet over high heat for 1 minute. Add the oil around the sides of the wok or pan, then turn the heat to medium. Add the chopped mushrooms and stir-fry until they give up their juices, about 5 minutes. If the mushrooms are browning too fast, lower the heat.

3. Add the soy sauce. Turn the heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes.

4. Remove wok or skillet from the heat, add the scallions, and stir.

Sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Serve hot.
