Absolutely awesome recipe. I, too, have a favorite Asian market here in Tucson and bought the oyster mushrooms this morning wondering what to do with them when I got home. Made this recipe EXACTLY as posted. I served over cheese tortellini. FABULOUS!!

Mmmmm. This was good! We get locally grown organic oyster mushrooms at our Saturday Feria here in Uvita (Farmers Market). Always looking for something new to make with them, and this recipe fit the bill! It was great as written, and next time I think we'll throw in some minced oregano or basil from our garden, maybe some crushed red pepper flakes. Thank you for posting!!!
