Serve this strong miso mushroom stir fry as a side dish with steak! Or as a vegetable stir fry with steamed rice… Enjoy this one!
I don’t often buy oyster mushrooms because they are not readily available here.
Last week I saw some while doing my grocery shopping so that was a quick decision! Sounds like a good opportunity to make a powerful miso mushroom stir fry…
Easy Miso Mushroom Stir Fry
Do you like oyster mushrooms?
I love the way my favorite restaurant in El Medano here in Tenerife serves these oyster mushrooms: they are grilled until crunchy and brushed with a mixture of garlic, olive oil and freshly chopped parsley.
My initial idea was to do exactly the same as well today, but then I saw the red miso in my pantry and I changed my mind.
This miso mushroom stir fry is a great side dish for a good steak dinner!
Main or Side Dish
Serve this mushroom stir fry over cooked rice as a vegetarian meal.
Well, at least if you don’t add fish sauce that is. Or add extra white mushrooms or any other type of mushroom to make it even more appetizing!
I prepared this stir fry in my fabulous KitchenAid Cook Processor but a simple non-stick frying pan or wok will also do of course! For the complete step by step Cook Processor recipe: scroll down to the second recipe below!

Easy Cucumber Miso Stir Fry
And here is a bonus recipe!
Also another vegetable miso stir fry as well.
The hubs has a hard time digesting raw cucumber but he does love the taste so I always try to find cucumber recipes he will adore.
Like this cucumber stir fry!
I used to put raw cucumber in the microwave for 10 seconds just to remove that stronger flavor. I do the same with spring onions and raw onion. In this next stir fry below I quickly bake the raw cucumber in a great and flavorful mixture of fresh ginger, onion, fish sauce and red miso.
Alternative
If you don’t have red miso, then you can replace it by oyster sauce or soy sauce. It is not a perfect flavor match but at least it brings enough Asian flavor into this dish.
We loved it, delicious!
Pan frying the fresh cucumber quickly keeps it still crunchy in the end, it should not be mushy at all. Stir fried cucumber also tastes like fresh zucchini to be honest, yum!
