Ingredients Breakdown
- King Oyster Mushrooms – Known for their meaty texture and earthy flavor, they soak up every bit of seasoning. These mushrooms are perfect for hearty plant-based dishes.
- Baby Bok Choy – Crisp, refreshing, and rich in vitamins A, C, and K, bok choy offers a beautiful crunch and subtle bitterness that pairs well with umami flavors.
- Cherry Tomatoes – Go for a mix of colors! They add sweetness, acidity, and gorgeous summer hues to the dish.
- Olive Oil – A light base for sautéing that brings all the ingredients together.
- Haitian Epis – The flavor bomb of the Caribbean! This green seasoning blend adds zest, spice, and herbal brightness. It often contains garlic, scallions, parsley, bell peppers, and a splash of acidity, so no vinegar or lemon needed here.
- Soy Sauce (or Coconut Aminos) – Adds a touch of saltiness and depth. Choose low-sodium to better control your seasoning, or substitute with coconut aminos for a gluten-free, lower-sodium option.
- Flour & Water Slurry – Helps create a light glaze that brings the dish together without making it heavy.
- Scallions – A finishing touch of freshness and mild onion flavor.
Tips & Notes:
- Don’t overcook: Keep veggies slightly crunchy to enjoy their full texture and flavor.
- Pick your mushrooms wisely: Buy King Oyster Mushrooms at your local Asian or international market. They hold their shape beautifully and offer that meaty texture.
- Want to make it a meal? Serve over jasmine rice, quinoa, or noodles.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently to maintain texture.
