Easy
Fresh oyster mushrooms (any variety — Blue, White, Pearl, Italian, Yellow, or mixed)
1 Tbsp. butter or neutral oil
Umami Lover seasoning (or salt and pepper)
Tear, don't cut. Pull the mushrooms apart into bite-size pieces along the natural grain. No knife needed — tearing creates more surface area for browning.
Hot pan, fat down. Heat a tablespoon of butter or oil over medium-high until it shimmers. Don't skip the preheat — cold pans steam mushrooms instead of searing them.
Lay flat, walk away. Place mushrooms in a single layer. Don't crowd the pan — cook in two batches if needed. Leave them alone. No stirring. No flipping. 3 minutes.
Flip once. You should see deep golden-brown on the underside. Flip each piece. Season with Umami Lover. 2 more minutes.
Done. Eat straight off the pan, over rice, tossed with pasta, piled on toast, or added to whatever you're already making.
