Here’s How You Should Cook The Mushroom

Mushroom tends to have a lot of juice in it. When cooked you will notice that even if you don’t add any liquid, you will see water in your pan. That water is the juice that comes out of the Mushroom. I used to just dump the mushroom in a pan when I cooked it, I thought it’s the fastest way to do it, and it’s true. But the fastest way is not the right way of cooking this Mushroom. How then?

• Use Fresh Mushroom – Fresh is always better when it comes to Mushroom. You can also used the dehydrated one but make sure to squeeze out as much water before cooking it. Canned mushroom is a  No, No, they just don’t taste as good as the fresh. There are only 2 main ingredients in this dish, so used a quality ingredients please.
• Large pan – do not over crowed the pan to give the Mushroom the space It needs to sear properly. Over crowding causes steam, and steam causes more water.
• Sear it, don’t steam it – searing means cooking in high heat with in a very little amount of oil. This method of cooking produces a nice browned crust, most of the time searing is used for meat, poultry or fish. But I found out that I can actually use the same method when cooking Mushrooms, and when cooked like this the Mushroom tasted better and less mushy and watery. It’s simple. Simply leave the mushroom alone (like do not mix it for 3- 5  minutes), don’t keep on turning or mixing it and allow the juice to dry out. This way, you’ll get a nice browning. Once you master the proper way of cooking mushroom, you’ll enjoy it more. At least for me this is what I prefer and what works best especially for this kind of dish.

This can be served as a main dish or side dish. Serve it with steamed rice, top it on noodles, mix it with spaghetti squash, or serve it with Cauliflower Rice So many ways to use it. Now let me show you how I made this. Let’s get started!
