Add the Sauce

Tips

Use Fresh Mushrooms

For the best texture and flavor avoid canned mushrooms and go for fresh ones like cremini or button.

Don’t Overcook the Eggs

Scramble the eggs until just set—they’ll continue cooking slightly when added back to the pan.

Cook Mushrooms Dry at First

Let the mushrooms release their moisture before adding seasoning for better browning.

Add Garlic Last-Minute

To prevent burning, add minced garlic just before the mushrooms are done.

Variations

Make It Spicy

Add a dash of sriracha or chili oil for an extra kick.

Add Veggies

Toss in some spinach, bell peppers, or baby bok choy for more nutrients and color.

Use Oyster Sauce or Hoisin

For a richer, sweeter depth of flavor, swap some soy sauce with oyster or hoisin sauce.

Vegan Version

Replace eggs with scrambled tofu for a delicious plant-based option.

Add Protein

Mix in cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu cubes for a heartier meal.
