Ingredients For Sauteed Mushrooms
A great thing about this recipe is that it requires only a few simple ingredients that you probably already have t in your pantry. So here is a list of everything you will need:

How To Make Sauteed Mushrooms

Tips for Making the Best Caramelized Mushrooms
- Do not overcrowd the pan so the mushrooms have enough space to caramelize and not simmer.
- Use soy sauce to help the mushrooms get that rich and brown crust.
- Stir from time to time to allow the fried mushrooms to caramelize perfectly.
- Don’t soak the mushrooms in water because they tend to soak up liquids and become super soggy when cooked. Clean the mushrooms using a damp paper towel or a mushroom brush.
