• 1 pound fresh mushrooms halved

• Cook and stir for 1 to 2 minutes.
• Combine cornstarch and remaining water until smooth; gradually stir into mushrooms.
• Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.

Yaya’s Tips for Success

• Make sure your skillet is hot before adding the mushrooms so they sauté quickly without becoming soggy.
• Do not overcrowd the pan or the mushrooms will steam instead of browning.
• Use fresh mushrooms, not canned, for the best texture.
• If using larger mushrooms like portobello, slice them instead of halving.

Yaya’s Customization Ideas

This recipe can go so many different ways depending on what you’re in the mood for.

• You can add a pinch of garlic powder or minced fresh garlic to the skillet for an extra depth of flavor.
• A splash of rice vinegar or a few red pepper flakes can add brightness or heat if that’s your style.
• These mushrooms are also great served over baked potatoes, quinoa, or tossed into a warm grain bowl.
