Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mushrooms

    Clean the shiitake mushrooms by brushing off any dirt with a damp cloth. Remove the stems and slice the caps into thin strips.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Cook the Mushrooms

    Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and start to brown.

  4. 4

    Add Seasoning

    Stir in the soy sauce, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve warm as a side dish or over rice as a main course.
