Tips for Sweet and Sour Mushroom:

1. Avoid washing the mushrooms with water, otherwise, they’ll absorb too much moisture, which can dilute their flavor when cooking.
2. Preheat the nonstick skillet – Heat the nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. While you’re heating the pan, slice the mushrooms at the same time.
3. Don’t add oil, but fry the mushrooms over medium heat. In this way, the moisture in the mushrooms will evaporate and the fragrance will be more intense. Learn more about how to saute mushrooms like a chef or a restaurant.
4. Fry the mushrooms in the pan – don’t stir them for about 2 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
