Mushrooms are edible fungi with great taste and amazing health benefits. They are a great source of potassium which helps lower blood pressure. Mushrooms also boost the immune system, may limit the risk of cancer, and aid in weight loss. Adding mushrooms to your diet can seem daunting, especially for people who did not grow up eating them. Here are simple mushroom recipes to try out for first-timers and veterans alike.

Serves: 4

Garlic – 2 cloves peeled and finely chopped
Ginger – 2 thick slices, peeled and shredded
Sesame oil – 1 teaspoon
Sesame seeds – 1 tablespoon toasted for garnish (optional)
Vegetable oil to coat the pan
Cilantro – fresh for garnish

Directions

Assemble the carrots, French beans ad peppers in separate piles.

Mix the soy sauce and vinegar in one bowl, garlic, and ginger in another, and sesame oil in a third.

Generously coat the bottom of a pan with vegetable oil and heat before adding the carrots. Stir non-stop for 30 seconds, add the French beans and continue to stir for 2 minutes. Add the peppers then stir for another 2 minutes. Stop stirring as you grind pepper onto it.

Now add the mushrooms, garlic, and ginger. Lower the heat and stir-fry until the mushrooms are al dente.

Garnish with toasted sesame seeds or cilantro and serve immediately with rice or noodles.

Other ingredients that you can also experiment with when making a mushroom vegetable stir-fry are broccoli, sweet beans, and cauliflower.
