    🥘 Equipment

    To make this delicious oyster mushroom noodle stir-fry, the most important piece of equipment you will need is a good quality wok or a large, high-sided skillet. It will allow you to cook your ingredients quickly and evenly over high heat ensuring the flavors are well distributed throughout the dish.

    👩‍🍳 Instructions

    Preparing the ingredients

    STEP 1
    Prepare the rice noodles according to the instructions on the package. At the same time, parboil the broccoli. This means cooking the florets in boiling water until they start to soften but remain a bit crunchy, which should take about 5 minutes.

    STEP 2
    Prepare the oyster mushrooms for cooking. Start by cleaning them with a dry cloth if needed. Next, cut off the last bit of the stem. Then, shred the mushrooms with your fingers.

    STEP 3
    Press the firm tofu to remove excess water, and then cut it into cubes or slices, whichever you prefer. If you want your tofu to be extra crispy, you can fry it in advance without any sauce. Simply preheat a skillet over medium heat, add a bit of oil, and fry the tofu cubes until they get a golden brown crust.

    Making the oyster mushroom noodle stir fry

    STEP 1
    Preheat a wok or a large skillet over medium heat, and add high heat-resistant vegetable oil, such as sunflower or coconut oil. Lower the heat, then add chopped garlic and red chili peppers. Stir and cook for 1 minute.

    STEP 2
    Add soy sauce (or tamari) and cane sugar to the skillet. Stir continuously and cook until the sugar has melted, and the sauce starts to bubble up. Then, add the shredded oyster mushrooms and diced tofu. Saute them for 5 minutes.

    💡 Expert tip

    The key to this oyster mushroom noodle stir-fry is the preparation of the oyster mushrooms. Instead of slicing them with a knife, shred the mushrooms with your hands. This method not only gives the mushrooms a pleasant, meaty texture but also allows them to soak up the flavors of the dish.

    🔄 Variations

    Try using different types of noodles. I love to use rice noodles in this recipe because they are light and gluten-free. However, you can easily swap them out for udon noodles or even whole wheat noodles if you prefer.

    Experiment with a variety of mushrooms. Oyster mushrooms have a mild, delicate flavor that works well in this stir-fry. However, you can try using shimeji mushrooms or king oyster mushrooms for a different texture and flavor.

    If you are not a fan of tofu, you can easily substitute it with seitan or tempeh. These are both great sources of plant-based protein and will add a chewy texture to the stir-fry.

    🥣 Serving ideas

    This oyster mushroom noodle stir fry is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. It makes for a delicious main course for lunch or dinner. I love serving it with a side of fresh vegetables like cucumber, bell peppers, or carrots for a well-balanced meal.

    You can also enjoy it with a side of steamed rice for a heartier option. The flavors of the stir fry complement the rice perfectly, making for a satisfying and filling meal.

    In addition, it can be a great addition to a family-style meal. I often serve it alongside other vegan dishes like spring rolls, lettuce wraps, or dumplings for a fun and delicious feast.

    If you have leftovers, this stir fry makes for a great next-day lunch. You can enjoy it on its own or add it to a salad for a refreshing and satisfying meal.

    ❄️ Storing tips

    Storing the oyster mushroom noodle stir-fry is quite easy.

    To store, allow the dish to cool completely. Once cooled, transfer it to an airtight container and place it in the refrigerator. It should stay fresh for about 3-4 days.

    I do not recommend freezing this dish. The texture of the vegetables and noodles can become quite mushy and unappealing upon thaw. It is best to enjoy this stir-fry fresh or refrigerated.

    To reheat, simply place the desired portion in a pan over medium heat. You can add a splash of water or vegetable broth to prevent sticking and to help the noodles and vegetables heat evenly.

    🤔 FAQs

    Can I use a different type of mushroom for this recipe?

    Yes, you can. While oyster mushrooms have a unique texture and flavor, you can use other types of mushrooms if that is what you have on hand or prefer. Some great options include shimeji mushrooms, maitake mushrooms, and enoki mushrooms. Just keep in mind that different types of mushrooms may require slightly different cooking times.

    Is there a substitute for cane sugar?

    Yes, you can use other types of sweeteners like maple syrup, agave nectar, or coconut sugar. If you are using a liquid sweetener, you may need to adjust the amount to achieve the desired level of sweetness.

    Do I have to use both basil and mint?

    While I highly recommend using both basil and mint for the best flavor, you can use only one if that is what you have on hand. The combination of the two herbs adds a unique and refreshing flavor to the dish, but it will still be delicious with just one of them.

    Instructions
     

    Preparing ingredients

    • Cook rice noodles as per package instructions.
    • Parboiling broccoli means you cook the florets in boiling water just until they start to soften but remain still a bit crunchy. It will take approximately 5 minutes.
    • All you need to do is 3 steps to prepare oyster mushrooms for cooking. Clean it with a dry cloth if needed. Cut off the last bit of the stem. Shred with your fingers.

    Pressing tofu + optional frying

    • Use firm tofu and press it. Then cut them into cubes or slices, whichever you prefer.
    • While I think the texture of stir-fried tofu is simply delicious in this recipe. If you want your tofu to be extra crispy, you can fry it in advance (without any sauce).
    • Preheat your skillet over medium heat. Add a bit of oil and fry the tofu cubes until they get a golden brown crust.

    Stir-frying

    • Preheat a wok or large skillet over medium heat and add high heat-resistance vegetable oil like sunflower or coconut.
    • Lower the heat and add chopped garlic and red chili peppers. Stir and cook for 1 minute.
    • Add soy sauce (or tamari) and cane sugar. Stir continuously and cook it until the sugar has melted and the sauce starts to bubble up.
    • Add shredded oyster mushrooms and diced tofu. Sautee them for 5 minutes.
    • Then, add a bit of water to replace the liquid content that has been evaporated before adding the par-boiled broccoli. Sautee them for 2-3 minutes.
    • Add the cooked rice noodles and stir well until they are covered with the sauce.
    • Finally, remove it from the heat before adding the fresh basil and mint leaves.
