About the Ingredients

Salt & Sugar: Simple seasonings that balance out the acidity of the tomatoes and highlight the natural flavors of the vegetables.

Mushrooms: Earthy, savory, and nutrient-rich - full of B vitamins, selenium, and potassium. White button, cremini, or even shiitake work great here.

Tomatoes: Juicy and slightly tangy, they bring natural sweetness and are packed with vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants like lycopene.

Garlic: The flavor backbone of this dish! It adds aromatic depth while also offering immune-boosting benefits.

Cooking Oil: Use a neutral oil (like avocado, canola, or grapeseed) for stir frying.

Sesame Oil: Just a drizzle at the end for nutty, toasty flavor.

How to make Mushroom Tomato Stir Fry (Step by Step)

First, gather your ingredients:

• 8 oz of mushroom, sliced
• 2 tomatoes, cut in to wedges
• 4 cloves of garlic, roughly chopped
• Cooking oil/fat of choice
• Salt, as desired
• ½ teaspoon sugar
• ½ teaspoon sesame oil

Heat cooking oil/fat in a large skillet or wok over medium high heat.  Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.

Add mushrooms to the dish first, and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Now add the tomatoes to the pan and stir fry with the mushrooms for about 1 minute. Cover and allow it to cook for about another minute.

Uncover, add salt, sugar, and sesame oil, and stir fry until mushrooms and tomatoes are tender.

Remove from heat and serve!

Storage & Reheating

• Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Freezer: Not recommended - tomatoes can get mushy after thawing.
• Reheat: Warm gently in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of oil or water until heated through. You can also microwave for 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway, but stovetop keeps the mushrooms and tomatoes from getting too soft.

FAQ

Can I use canned tomatoes instead of fresh?
Yes, you can substitute with canned tomatoes in a pinch. Just drain them well so the stir fry doesn't get watery. The texture will be slightly different though.

What mushrooms work best for this recipe?
White button or cremini mushrooms are classic, but you can also use shiitake, oyster, or a mix for extra flavor.

How can I make it more filling?
Well, it's meant to be a veggie side dish, so serve it over rice or noodles, or add a protein like tofu, shrimp, or chicken to make it a complete meal
