About the Ingredients

Thinly sliced beef
Hot pot style beef works perfectly here because it cooks super quickly and stays tender. You can also use shaved beef or slice your own thinly.

Enoki mushrooms (金針菇)
These delicate mushrooms have a mild flavor and slightly crunchy texture. They soak up the sauce really well and cook in just a couple of minutes.

Ginger
Essential for that classic savory, aromatic stir fry base.

Oyster sauce + soy sauce
These bring the main flavor - savory, slightly sweet, and rich.

Shaoxing wine (optional)
Adds depth and restaurant-style flavor, but you can skip if needed.

Ingredients

• 8 oz thinly sliced beef
• 1 pack enoki mushrooms (trimmed and separated)
• 2 teaspoon ginger, thinly sliced
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 1-2 tablespoon oil
• Marinade
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
• Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 2-3 tablespoon water or broth

How to Make Beef Enoki Mushroom Stir Fry

Marinate the beef

In a bowl, combine the thinly sliced beef with:

• soy sauce
• cornstarch
• sesame oil
• rice wine
• sugar
• black pepper

Mix well and let it marinate for about 10 minutes while you prep everything else.

Cook the beef

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a wok or large pan over high heat.

Add the beef in a single layer and sear quickly, about 1-2 minutes total, until just cooked through.

Remove from the pan and set aside.

👉 Tip: Don't overcook here - it'll finish cooking later.

Stir fry ginger

In the same pan, add a little more oil if needed.

Add the ginger and stir fry until fragrant (about 30 seconds).

Add enoki mushrooms

Add the enoki mushrooms and stir fry for 1-2 minutes.

They will start to soften and release a bit of liquid - that's perfect.

Combine and sauce

Return the beef to the pan.

Add:

• oyster sauce
• 2-3 tablespoon water or broth

Toss everything together well so the sauce coats the beef and mushrooms evenly.

Finish

Add chopped green onions and give everything a final toss.

Taste and adjust if needed (a little more oyster sauce or water depending on your preference).

Remove from heat and serve!

Tips for Best Results

• Don't overcook the beef - it cooks very fast and can get tough
• Cook in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding
• Enoki mushrooms cook quickly - don't let them get too soft
• Prep everything ahead of time since stir frying moves fast

Storage & Reheating

• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Reheat in a pan over medium heat or microwave until warmed through.

FAQ

Can I use other mushrooms?
Yes! Shiitake, oyster mushrooms, or sliced king oyster mushrooms all work well.

What if I don't have hot pot beef?
You can thinly slice steak (like ribeye or sirloin) against the grain.

Is this spicy?
No, but you can add chili flakes or fresh chili if you want some heat.
