Hand-Torn King Oyster Mushrooms
比肉还好吃的手撕杏鲍菇 · pan chinese cuisine
Tearing the king oyster mushrooms by hand instead of slicing gives them a meaty, fibrous texture, which is why this dish is often described as tasting better than meat. A quick savory stir-fry with oyster sauce and soy sauce, it's a light everyday dish. No blanching is needed — just rinse the mushrooms well before tearing them into strips. A little dark soy sauce can be added if you prefer a deeper color.
