Stir Fry Peas and Oyster Mushrooms

I hate Peas. There, I said it. Don’t judge me. I am like a kid when it comes to vegetables that I don’t like. It’s like a magical tumble washing time machine spiralling me back to when I was just a kid.

Anyway, it’s not the world’s friendliest vegetable to eat. But my Wife bought it and she bought Oyster Mushrooms as well. And not sure if you have a sensitive palate like myself, but there is this peculiar aftertaste with oyster mushrooms. It’s just me I guess.

I was in the restaurant business a while back, and one of the few things that stood out for me were these oyster mushrooms. They were quite bland in flavour, maybe that’s why they were so easy to control in terms of how you would want to flavour it.

But putting them together with peas, takes it to a whole new level. Okay. I am an innovator in the kitchen, so I will give it a shot.

Ingredients

Peas (just ordinary peas, nothing fancy, one pack will do)

Oyster Mushrooms (just one packet from NTUC will do. Again, nothing really fancy)

Fish Sauce (use any Vietnamese make, although some folks say the “long boat” brand is good)

Olive Oil (just a little oil will do)

Method

1. Debone the Peas. There is a spine that is quite difficult to eat, so best to remove it.

2. Oil in the wok, stir fry some garlic pieces until fragrant, then fry the peas and oyster mushrooms together. Add the fish sauce and cover the lid to steam.

3. It should be done in about 5 minutes. So easy. Surprisingly nice too. 🙂

Bon Appetit!
