Ingredients

• 500 grams button mushrooms
• 120 milliliters orange juice (freshly squeezed)
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon water
• 2 stalks spring onions (sliced)
• 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mushrooms thoroughly with a damp paper towel and trim the stems if needed. Pat them dry and set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together orange juice, soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, and black pepper to create the sauce.

Step 3

In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water until dissolved. Set this slurry aside.

Step 4

Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and begin to brown.

Step 6

Pour the prepared sauce over the mushrooms and stir to coat evenly. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and glazes the mushrooms.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the dish with sliced spring onions and sesame seeds.

Step 9

Serve immediately as a side dish or pair with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
