Mushroom oyster sauteed

The oyster mushroom gets its name from its cap which, some say, resembles an oyster. The stem of the oyster mushrooms is perhaps more distinct; it unfurls something like one of those old-time paper lady’s fans.

The oyster mushroom has been cultivated in Asia for centuries. Today it is very popular in Japanese and Chinese cooking; it is usually stuffed or stir-fried.

The flavor of the oyster mushroom is somewhere between anise and oyster. The flavor mellows with cooking. Young oyster mushrooms, say 1½ inches in diameter or less, are considered the best eating.
