Mixed Mushroom Stir Fry

Posted by Lorna Macchia on

Everywhere I look at the moment there are beautiful mushrooms of all different shapes, sizes and species. The farmers markets have the freshest shitake, brown, king oysters and lions mane mushrooms proudly on display, and I have to admit I struggle to walk past without at least 1 box of mixed mushrooms each week. I use them a lot with omelettes, in stuffed sweet potatoes and in vegan san choy bao, but decided to try a more Asian flavour this week, with a simple but very nutrient dense, stir fry.   

For a vegan stir fry substitute the omelette with tempeh lightly cooked in tamari.
