Equipment
- our Cast-iron Skillet by UnoCasa
- Non-stick frying pan (10.5 inch / 26 cm)
- Grill pan
- Grill tool set
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp Coconut oil
- 12.5 oz Oyster mushrooms
- ½ cup Teriyaki sauce
- 2 tsp Corn starch
- ½ tsp Garlic powder
- 2-3 pinches Salt and Pepper to taste
- 3 Bok choy
Instructions
Preparation
- No need to wash oyster mushrooms. Cut off the last bit of the stem, and you are good to go.
- To turn the teriyaki sauce into a marinade, you need to heat it over medium/high heat with cornstarch until it thickens. It should not take longer than a couple of minutes.
Frying
- Heat up your cast-iron skillet over medium/high heat. And add coconut oil.
- Spread the cluster of oyster mushrooms evenly in a circle with caps down. Use a smaller cast iron skillet and press down the mushroom as much as you can. Try to distribute the weight evenly, so they get flattened evenly.
- Fry them for approx. 8-10 minutes. Check time to time to ensure they don't get burnt. When
- When the first side is ready, season it with salt, black pepper, and half of the garlic powder before flipping it over with a tong.
- Turn the heat down to medium. Add a bit more oil, and season the other side as well. Press it down again with the smaller skillet and fry them approx. 4-5 minutes or until they are crispy but are not charcoal.
- When they are ready, take it off the heat and let it cool for a bit.
- Brush them generously with the teriyaki marinade on both sides. Grill it over medium heat in a grill pan to get the sauce sticky on both sides.
- Serve it with sauteed bok choy. Cut it in half and sautee on a grill pan heated over medium heat until it softens and gets yummy charcoal stripes.

Notes
- Watch the heat! - Pan-frying means high heat, so you must start with high when frying the mushrooms. However, when grilling it with the marinade you need to turn down the heat.
- Minced garlic vs garlic powder - Finely chopped garlic can get burnt easily and will taste bitter. We recommend using garlic powder in this recipe.
