  • This is a basic video that will show you the proper technique of how to properly fry mushrooms. Although you can cook mushrooms in many different ways, this is a good basic skill to have.
    You can clean mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel before cooking them. If you soak or wash mushrooms directly in or under running water, they will absorb the water and take longer to cook. Both methods are acceptable, but if you want to cut down cooking time, wipe them, don't soak them.

    First, thank you very much for watching this video and supporting my channel! Here are some answers to your frequently asked questions about this video:
    Q: Can I just drain the water to make it cook faster?
    A: Yes, you can. But why are you in such a hurry? If you concentrate the mushroom juices in the pan, you are left with more flavor in the end.
    Q: Did you clean the mushrooms?
    A: Yes, they were wiped with a damp paper towel before filming. I don't recommend that you wash them or soak them in water, as they will absorb water and will take longer to cook.
    Q: Why did you add olive oil at the beginning?
    A: Oil conducts heat, which heats up the mushrooms faster, and gets them to let go of their water faster.
    Q: Why didn't you use butter?
    A: Because butter has milk solids that can burn. So you would only add butter at the very end.
    Q: Will adding salt at the beginning help the water come out faster?
    A: Not really. What will get the water out of the mushrooms quickly is heat, not salt.
    Q: Should I peel the mushrooms first?
    A: These are baby Portobello mushrooms, you do not need to peel them.
    Q: Is it OK to eat the stem?
    A: Yes. You would only remove the stem if it's too tough or has too much tough fiber, which these did not.
    Q: What kind of pan is that?
    A: It's a non-stick Korean wok that I bought at a local Asian grocery store.

      Hold it top up stem down under a stream, and wash the top, this way they don't get saturated.

      The biggest enhancement I've made to my mushroom cooking technique is using water in step 1 instead of oil. I find it is more effective than oil for stage 1 and 2, is cheaper (free) and results in a better tasting result. Fats only added at stage 3 are the way to go!

      My tip is to follow this and let the mushroom water evaporate half way but then add a half a tablespoon of vegeta seasoning/vegetable stock (you could use a chicken stock if you have it on hand), then add a 1/3 cup of water. Mix that through and once that mixture evaporates away by half the mushrooms absorb all that and its got a much enhanced flavour. This is also a great base to slowly work in cream for a mindblowing creamy mushroom pasta sauce. Happy cooking!

    Great video! My dear old Dad would bring home wild field mushrooms from the farm he collected after milking the cows. He would get to your stage two, then use cornflour to thicken the mushroom water, creating a black sauce that blanketed the mushrooms. this was then served on buttered toast for breakfast. I guess he never got to stage 3, but at least I will now! Thanks!

      I concur 100%. The strange thing about mushrooms is that because of their dry, 'papery' kind of texture you don't imagine they would have such a high water content. From your comment I imagine you've had that horrible experience when your big bag of mushrooms cooks down to a thimbleful. Double up on the 'rooms!

    At 60yrs old I have never cooked good mushroom until tonight!!!
    I watched a couple of other videos on the subject but settled on this one.
    Real glad I did!
    So simple but so effective and brilliantly explained with many points covered including the Q & A in the notes which I only saw after.
    I have always peeled my mushrooms but the regular ones I bought today didn't even have any dirt on them so I didn't even need to wipe them!
    Started them off in a bit of olive oil and they soaked that up so after a few mins I added a bit more.
    Didn't get much water out of them but fried them for about 10 mins then added a pinch of salt, a knob of butter and one mashed clove of garlic and continued on medium heat for another few mins.
    I thought I'd cooked enough for four but wish I'd done 3 times the amount.. they were delicious!!!
    Now I know to clean or peel or cut the stems depending on how they are and will be cooking them like this now for hopefully the next 30+yrs.

Rather their bodies are made of a polymer called chitin, which is what insect exoskeletons are made of. This difference is one of the defining features that separate mushrooms from the plant kingdom.

At first I was disappointed but did not want to waste it so I dug in. Ever since i have ordered mushrooms and eaten them at every chance. Last week a restaurant locally served me mushrooms that seemed to be steamed and the dish was full of fluid. It left me disappointed and So I searched and found your video. Today I made my first plate full of white mushrooms (8oz next time making double). I added some spicy banana peppers and some tiny pearl onions I also threw in a teaspoon of garlic and some dried parsley. Thank you your video it helped me make an awesome dish. PS I also seared it with some habanero ketchup at the end gonna try a little more of that added a nice kick and added some nice color.

    Thank you so so much for this video. My boyfriend loves mushrooms and requests them quite often. I’ve never been too sure on how to cook them because every time I did, I never liked how they came out. But it was because I stopped at part 2 of the cooking method. Now, I’ll definitely be making them more often now that I know how to cook them. I wasn’t too big on mushrooms before but I think it was because I didn’t have them cooked correctly. Now I really enjoy them too!

    Very useful thank you, couple of points, butter has a smoke point of about 150° C, (olive oil 150 to 170° C) but Ghee which is clarified butter has a smoke point of about 250° C. Possibly more used in South and East Asia but available in supermarkets throughout the Western world. Don't be scared of it. ;)

Do it medium high, just a few at a time, NEVER one on top of the other, so that they get sealed, golden outside, retain the water inside therefore end up large, plump and beautiful. Also, never salt them prior to putting them in the plate.

    When the mushrooms just get to stage three I add butter, marsala wine, and half and half or heavy cream. I cook it a little longer till the liquid thickens. And then you have a wonderful sauce to use on steaks or chicken. Makes a decadent meal. The sauce is wonderful on the meat and a baked potato. The mushrooms are heavenly.

I use a semi sweet white wine for shrimp and chicken, and a semi sweet red for beef or pork medallions. That sauce can make even the plainest meal special. I make wild rice or new red potatoes…the tiny ones. I’m sure you know……cook double mushrooms than you need….they reduce a lot. I love mushrooms.

    I pretty much fry my mushrooms this way, too. Recently I have switched to chestnut mushrooms whereas for the past 40 years I selected white button mushrooms. The chestnut variety has more flavour and keeps longer in the fridge. I reckon I eat fried mushrooms at least three times a week. I'm having some this morning for breakfast with a shrimp omelette. For seasoning, I swear by Polish Kucharek seasoning powder. It's amazing on mushrooms, sprinkled over fried eggs, in stir-fries, wonderful stuff. I discovered it about five years ago, because here in England we have many Polish guest workers and now a number of Polish and East European grocery stores. Kucharek has become so popular that now all major supermarkets stock it, too.

    • @jessea7655

    Skip the oil to start, mushrooms are a sponge and just soaks it up, so dry saute till brown and water has evaporated and then finish with a little oil or butter if you like or just add directly to whatever dish you're making.

      M G is actually right here. Also Jeremy? They didn't suggest that oil and water mixes, they said that the mushrooms soak up the oil, which they absolutely do, look it up.
      If you add the oil at the end it saves on the amount of oil you use, you get basically the same flavour and a more healthy outcome, it's just all wins. The only thing I'd suggest that M G didn't mention? Add the salt at the beginning, you want the salt to help extract the water from the mushrooms as without the oil the hot pan can actually scorch the mushrooms unless you start getting the water out of them quickly.
