Mushrooms In Oyster Sauce

Introduction

Mushrooms In Oyster Sauce (Simplified Chinese: 蚝油蘑菇; Traditional Chinese: 蠔油蘑菇; Pinyin: Hào yóu mógū;), it is a famous Cantonese dish. All-white button mushrooms (optional choices are: dried Chinese black mushrooms or Cremini mushrooms) and green pepper are the main ingredients, but if you are not a vegetarian, you can also add chicken or pork in this dish. Savory vegetarian oyster sauce enhances the umami flavor of the mushrooms. The dish has a bit golden or caramel and is very suitable to go with rice!
