Step‑by‑Step Instructions

1. Heat the pan. Over medium-high heat, warm the empty skillet.
2. Dry-sear mushrooms. Add sliced mushrooms dry. Let them sit 3–4 minutes until golden—don’t mess with them.
3. Flip & sear. Stir and cook another 3 minutes so both sides brown beautifully.
4. Add oil and aromatics. Drizzle olive oil, then stir in garlic and ginger. Sauté 30 sec until fragrant.
5. Soy sauce time! Pour in soy sauce and rice vinegar (or maple syrup). Stir and cook 2–3 minutes until mushrooms soak it up.
6. Finish with flair. Quick toss with sesame oil. Sprinkle green onions & sesame seeds. Serve hot.

2. Creamy vegan: Stir in 2 tbsp coconut cream just before finishing.
3. Asian bowl boost: Toss mushrooms with cooked tofu or tempeh and serve over rice or noodles.
4. Herb twist: Stir in fresh cilantro or Thai basil at the end.
