Why We Love This Asian Stir-Fried Mushrooms Recipes
Let’s talk about Mushroom Stir Fry…
We have those days when we enjoy spending extra time in the kitchen, making slow-cooked dinners with multiple components. Then we all have those days we’d rather order pizza… Yet we sigh and step into the kitchen anyway to make a quick healthy meal.
Today’s Stir-Fried Asian Mushrooms are for those days when you just don’t feel like cooking.
They take so little time and effort to make, but offer such a huge flavor, that you’ll find you make this recipe again and again.
They are seriously packed with flavor, and so easy to make. Plus, they are versatile. You can serve them in so many different ways! I like to have mine with some fried rice and steamed broccoli on the side for a satisfying vegetarian meal. Or, serve with a seasoned steak to add veggies and texture!
Ingredients You Need
To make this tasty Asian stir fry gather up these ingredients!
- Button Mushrooms – The main star of the recipe! I used button mushrooms for their simple earthy taste.
- Sesame Oil – A staple Asian ingredient to offer nutty flavor. You can find this at almost all grocery stores.
- Black Bean Garlic Sauce – Salty, spicy, and slightly sweet, this ingredient can be found on Amazon or at an Asian store. If you can’t find this, you can use 2-3 cloves of garlic and add some soy sauce and oyster sauce to the mix for an umami flavor.
- Honey – For its sweetness of course.
- Chili Garlic Sauce – Hot, tangy, and garlicky! The perfect complement to the sweetness.
- Sherry – You can play around with the amount here if you think the sherry will overwhelm everything else. Use either dry sherry or cooking sherry.
- Chopped Scallions – AKA green onions. This is for garnish and taste.

Tips & Tricks
- Add extra veggies to the mix! This Asian mushroom stir fry can be made into a veggie stir fry with added veggies like sliced peppers and baby bok choy!
- Cook at a relatively high heat, without a lid! To get the right texture, it is important to cook the mushrooms at medium-high heat and without a lid. This will allow the moisture to evaporate to get seared edges on the mushrooms.
- Adjust according to your spice tolerance! I used chili garlic sauce here to add some heat. If you are sensitive to spice, add just a little or omit it completely.
How To Serve This Mushroom Stir Fry
Serve Asian Stir Fried Mushrooms as a side dish or topper for quick grilled steaks or chicken. Or serve them over rice for an easy vegetarian meal.
You can throw them in a buddha bowl with wilted greens and a fried egg, and even use them on hot sandwiches!
I also love to serve these garlicky mushrooms with other Asian-inspired recipes as a vegetable side dish. These would go great with Orange Chicken, Chinese Five Spice Shrimp, or Kung Pao Beef!
Asian Stir Fried Mushrooms are my new go-to mushroom recipe for fast dinners. The bold tantalizing flavor of earthy mushrooms, Asian black bean sauce, and chili paste hit the spot every time!

I love it, so yummy
Only had 8 oz. portobello stem ends so eyed the quantities. Very good. Hope to make again when I have button mushrooms. (Served with teriyaki beef, rice, sesame broccoli 01-25-22.)
I had a few slices of meatloaf and a baked potato left over, and this was the perfect topper. I made the mushrooms and added the meatloaf slices and potato cubes into the pan to coat with the sauce. It was delicious with Lt. Dan’s steakhouse salad!
