Oyster mushrooms are a healthy food. Their protein content is comparable to that of animal meat.

In particular, this type of mushroom has a beneficial vitamin D content and many nutrients that help protect the intestines, prevent worms and parasites, and fight bacteria... Therefore, I always prioritize using this type of mushroom in my family's dishes.

Behind the kitchen, I always hang around a dozen oyster mushroom substrates, watering and caring for each mushroom myself. I usually stir-fry these mushrooms with lemongrass and chili, or steam them with lemongrass, or use them in sour soup.

On days when mushrooms are plentiful, I make crispy fried mushroom patties. The recipe is simple, but it takes a little time to prepare the ingredients.

From finely chopping each mushroom and mincing it together with a few sprigs of cilantro, to cutting the accompanying vegetables like carrots and bell peppers into strips or diced pieces.

Next, mix a few spoonfuls of oatmeal and flour with the mushrooms and other prepared ingredients, season with a little pepper, salt, and sugar. Add a little star anise and cinnamon powder to enhance the warming effect of the dish, then heat the pan and fry.

The process of marinating the mushroom patties involves flour and oatmeal. If you fry them quickly over high heat, the mushrooms will easily burn before the flour is hot enough. The stove should always be at a low heat, and you should flip the patties evenly with chopsticks until they are golden brown and crispy, then remove them from the pan.

Mushroom patties can be eaten with rice or soup as part of a main meal. They can also be used as a snack or between meals. If eaten with rice, you should add a bowl of fish sauce with garlic and chili or a bowl of soy sauce; my kids usually dip them in ketchup.

The mushroom patties were fragrant with a blend of herbs, the nutty richness of oats, and the sweetness of mushrooms. My children ate and praised them, and my heart swelled with the joy of a homemaker.
