Rules for cooking mushrooms

Cooking oyster mushrooms in a saucepan does not require special culinary skills. First, bring the water to a boil and lightly add salt. After this, add the washed chopped fruits and cook until tender for 15 minutes.

In this case, it is important that the water only slightly covers the prepared mushroom material, since heat treatment releases a large amount of juice. In addition, it is not recommended to change the water, since in this case up to 75% of the nutrients are lost. To save time, you can use a microwave oven or multifunctional kitchen appliances.

When cooking oyster mushrooms, you must adhere to the following rules:

rinse thoroughly, clean the material from dirt;
cut off the lower part of the leg, chop large specimens;
It is recommended to cook mushrooms only in salted water without adding a large amount of spices;
There is no need to pre-soak the fruits;
It is extremely undesirable to digest the material, since in this case the taste will deteriorate and the product will become tougher.

Total cooking time until done

You can boil raw mushrooms in the following way:

It is recommended to place the crushed, peeled mushroom material on the bottom of the pan, add black peppercorns.
Add salt and pour cold water above the level of the oyster mushrooms.
Bring the liquid to a boil and cook over medium heat for 15-25 minutes. The total cooking time in this way depends on the size of the fruit and its age.
Place the product in a colander to drain the liquid.

If oyster mushrooms are used as ingredients for first courses, then you should first chop the thoroughly washed, peeled mushrooms and the peeled onion. Fry all this in a frying pan with sunflower oil until the mushroom liquid has evaporated and the onions are golden brown. After this, the preparation can be added to the broth with vegetables and cooked for 10 minutes.

How long and how to cook before frying

There is no need to boil oyster mushrooms before frying, especially if we are talking about store-bought fruits. If mushrooms are collected in the forest, then experts recommend boiling them a little, but no more than 5-10 minutes. To do this, you need to boil water, add heat, and throw in the mushrooms.

Foam during cooking

After the foam has risen, it is removed and the mushrooms are boiled for several minutes.

In a steamer

To prepare mushrooms using a double boiler, the fruits must first be soaked, peeled, and removed from stains and seals on the stem and cap. After this, chop the oyster mushrooms, salt them, add spices.

In this state, it is recommended to leave the workpiece for 20 minutes so that it marinates. At the next stage, the fruits need to be evenly placed on a sieve, which is placed on a bowl of water. Close the lid and turn on the “Steam” mode for 20 minutes.

Microwave

Wash thoroughly and cut the oyster mushrooms into strips. Then place the prepared material in a special container along with a piece of butter. Close the door and turn on the microwave for 3 minutes at medium power. After this, open the device and mix the workpiece. Then you need to set the maximum power and cook the product for about 10 minutes.

For marinating

To prepare this product, you need to take fresh, clean, dry mushrooms without stains, rinse them under running water, and trim off the hard thickenings on the stems. Cut the material into medium pieces and place in a pan with water.

After boiling, cook the oyster mushrooms for 20 minutes. At the end of the process, drain the water and rinse the workpiece under running water. After this, start preparing the marinade.

Oyster mushrooms for pickling

Oyster mushrooms fried with onion and soy sauce

I want to share with you one of my favorite recipes for cooking oyster mushrooms. These mushrooms taste very similar to forest mushrooms. They take little time. In general, an excellent quick snack for the holiday (and not only) table.

Ingredients:

oyster mushrooms - 1 pack.
soy sauce
onion
garlic
parsley
vegetable oil (for frying)

Cooking method:

I usually start cooking with onions: remove the skins and cut them into small cubes.

The next step is to place it in a frying pan greased with vegetable oil. Of course, you can use any oil - butter or vegetable. I prefer deodorized sunflower refining. IT does not add unnecessary flavors and aromas to the finished dish.

While the onion is fried, let's take care of our mushrooms. Strong and without dark spots, they do not require special treatment. Just wash them under running water and cut them into pieces.

The hats don’t need to be too chopped, but it’s better to chop up these legs.

In my opinion they are a bit harsh.

I chopped all the parts equally.

By this time, the onion has acquired a golden color. You can add mushrooms.

Immediately add soy sauce. Its amount depends on personal preferences - it’s like with salt, some people like it more and some less.

Let's mix.

Duration of frying oyster mushrooms: 10 - 15 minutes!

I don’t like deep fried ones, so I stew the oyster mushrooms covered for the first 7 minutes.

After 7-8 minutes I remove the lid. I add finely chopped or pressed garlic.

Mix again and let the yummy brown for another 7-8 minutes.

This is such a beauty!

Transfer to a salad bowl and garnish with fresh parsley: this aromatic spice goes perfectly with this treat!

Oyster mushrooms turn out very tasty - your family will definitely ask you to cook such mushrooms more than once!

How to store oyster mushrooms

Mushrooms are a very perishable product. After collecting or purchasing, they must be processed on the same day: sorted, cut out questionable areas. Clear of leaves and soil - the habitat of microorganisms that “trigger” the process of decay. Place the prepared specimens in a colander/sieve or open bowl and place in a cool, dark place.

After being at room temperature for more than 6 hours, further use of mushrooms is fraught with negative consequences. In the refrigerator, the shelf life will increase to 5 days. But even if you keep oyster mushrooms at the recommended temperature, every day they will lose their presentation, juiciness and their incomparable taste.

Roasted mushrooms can be used much longer. After heat treatment, the products should be placed in sterilized glass jars along with the oil in which they were cooked. Close the containers tightly and put the preserves in the refrigerator.

Such food is suitable for consumption within 6 months, but if you open the can, the shelf life of the food will be reduced to 7-10 days. Proponents of proper nutrition know exactly how to fry fresh oyster mushrooms with maximum benefit for the body. It is no coincidence that the best recipes and original ways of preparing mushroom dishes can be found in Chinese cuisine.

What to do before cooking

The structure of the mushroom is very fragile and does not tolerate rough manipulation. Before heat treatment, rinse thoroughly without damaging the body of the mushroom. Let's separate them from each other. Simply cut off the junction of the mushrooms. We evaluate the quality of oyster mushrooms by appearance. If the color of the caps is gray-bluish without any impurities or spots, then this is an excellent mushroom.

The next step is cleaning the mushroom. There may be areas damaged by worms or simply dark spots on the cap and surface. We must cut out such areas. Rinse under gentle stream of running water. The water should drain, and then dry it on a towel. Mushrooms should be fried only after they are completely dry, that is, in dry form.

And Bon Appetit.

Preparation for heat treatment

If the mushrooms were bought in a store, then before starting cooking, just rinse them under cold running water, separate the toughest parts and cut them into pieces of the desired size.

However, the processing of forest oyster mushrooms should be approached more carefully: they must be sorted out and any that raise any doubts, for example, have darkening, or are clearly spoiled by insects, must be thrown away. Those that have yellow spots under the cap should be rejected without fail.

Then, as usual, the mushrooms are cleaned and the fused bases are removed. This must be done, since this part of the fruiting body is practically not amenable to heat treatment: it remains the same hard, is not particularly tasty and can ruin the entire dish. Therefore, the bases are usually simply thrown away.

We talked about how to properly clean and wash these mushrooms in this article.

egg

You can also cook from them. But first, let's make a dish from the most delicious part. To give it a flatter shape, the cap can be beaten a little. To do this, I recommend wrapping them in film.

And the legs can be fried according to the previous recipe.

Let's make the batter. Break 2 eggs into a bowl and beat with a whisk or fork, whichever is more convenient for you. And lightly add some salt and add your favorite spices (black pepper, dried garlic, paprika, coriander). Pour cold water (70 ml) into it and gradually add flour. I don’t indicate the amount of ingredients, we do everything by eye. If we want to have a thicker crust, we make the mixture thicker. And vice versa, if with a thin layer of batter, add less flour.

Pour vegetable oil into a preheated frying pan over medium heat to cover the surface of the pan by 0.5 cm.

Take the cap and dip it in the sauce and place it in the fryer. Fry until golden brown (light, brown) on both sides.

And then we put them on paper napkins and let the excess fat drain off.

This dish is very tasty freshly prepared. And we don’t leave it and don’t do it for tomorrow. The crust loses its appeal as it absorbs moisture from the mushrooms. Enjoy these wonderful chops.

Bon appetit.

Nutritional value, calorie content of oyster mushrooms

This unusual mushroom can often be found in forest thickets. Spore organisms (all fungi belong to this group) chose dead and already decaying tree trunks or stumps left behind for their habitat. According to their taste characteristics, there are several types of oyster mushrooms: royal, oak, pink, lemon, autumn, beech, carob, oyster.

Each group has some external differences, but the unifying factor is their unique qualities. The calorie content (energy value) of the mushroom per 100 g of the edible part of the product is 35 kcal. The ratio of BJU, as well as nutritional properties, are shown in the table.

The composition of oyster mushrooms is very similar to meat. Mushrooms contain vitamins important for the human body: E, C, group B, and also a rather rare vitamin D2.

Each housewife decides how to fry oyster mushrooms (cooking recipes contain features of heat treatment included in the list of ingredients) based on her own tastes and preferences. The main task is to preserve valuable substances, micro- and macroelements of the product as much as possible.

Oyster mushroom has a whole range of useful properties:

The content of benzaldehyde in the mushrooms ensured their antibacterial activity. An antibiotic isolated from oyster mushrooms weakens E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria and successfully combats Salmonella bacteria. These mushrooms have received the figurative name of “radioactive orderlies”: after entering the body, they collect, break down and remove harmful substances.
The presence of ergothioneine gives them antioxidant properties, although heat treatment somewhat reduces this unique quality.
An extract obtained from pink oyster mushroom wages a “relentless fight” against cancer cells.
The royal type of mushroom is a powerful immune system stimulant. This property is widely used in Eastern medicine in the treatment of cancer.
The content of the forest “resident” of lovastatins and statins reduces the concentration of so-called bad cholesterol. Reducing its level is a sure way to minimize the risks of atherosclerosis or coronary disease.
And also a small amount of sodium and starch makes the product an ideal food for diabetic patients.
Just 1 mushroom can provide the body with up to 14% fiber, which will solve the problem of constipation. Eating oyster mushrooms helps to activate the production of enzymes that ensure the processing of incoming food.
The unique substances contained in mushrooms improve the liver’s ability to detoxify, and is also an effective remedy against such a terrible disease as hepatitis C.
The presence of potassium helps control blood pressure levels; other healing components strengthen the heart muscle.
The content of folic acid and iron in oyster mushrooms, when consumed regularly, will prevent the development of anemia.

The quality of mushrooms is not affected by the best environmental conditions. Spore organisms can easily and quickly absorb carcinogens harmful to humans from contaminated soil or air. Oyster mushrooms are a completely safe product provided they were grown correctly or grew in a clean area.

Otherwise, they will begin to accumulate toxic substances and heavy metals, which is especially undesirable for children, pregnant women, and elderly people. How to fry oyster mushrooms (cooking recipes will be presented step by step) without harmful consequences worries every lover of gourmet dishes.

Mushrooms collected in the forest need more careful processing, unlike those bought in a store.
Regardless of the cooking method, be sure to use spices. This will give the fruiting bodies a more subtle, refined taste, which will be felt well in any finished dish.

Do I need to boil oyster mushrooms before frying?

There is an opinion that oyster mushroom is a dangerous mushroom and you can get poisoned by it. Allegedly, therefore, it is imperative to carry out double heat treatment: first boil, and then only fry.

In fact, this has nothing to do with reality. You can fry oyster mushrooms immediately after you collect them. The mushroom is not dangerous; it can only be boiled or only fried.

Oyster mushrooms do not cook for very long
