Step 1

Remove any dried or browned bits from the base of the lion's mane mushroom either with a knife or by simply pulling off with your hands.

Step 2

Shred the lion's mane mushroom into ½-inch wide strips.

Step 3

Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Sauté the shredded lion's mane mushroom strips in the pan, DRY, i.e. without oil. Dry sautéing will draw out some of the excess moisture from the mushrooms. Allow the mushrooms to brown at their edges. This will take about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Drizzle oi, tamari or soy sauce, and garlic powder if using, over the mushrooms in the pan. Stir fry until fragrant and the mushrooms have developed a deep brown color. Remove mushrooms from heat.
