1. Begin by gently brushing the mushrooms with a soft-bristled brush or a clean, damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris that may be clinging to them.

1. Since Superlicious Mushrooms are cultivated in a very clean environment washing is not required.

1. Pat the mushrooms dry with a clean towel or paper towel to remove any excess moisture.

1. Remove the stem by cutting it with a knife, place the top half of the mushroom on a cutting board and cut into ½ inch thick pieces.

1. Other than black pearl & king oyster, most of the oyster mushrooms stems are hard to cook & they are recommended to be discarded.

Cooking:

1. Cut the chicken and mushrooms into bite-sized pieces, then sauté them in a pan until they become tender. If the pan becomes dry, add a splash of water or stock.

1. Add 1/2 inch sliced Black Pearl Mushrooms.

1. Season the mushrooms with salt, move them to one side of the pan, and then add the onion, garlic, and ginger. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.

1. Add the vegetable stock and water, then cook for an additional 2 minutes.

1. Add the lemongrass, coconut milk, curry paste, sugar, fish sauce, and bring to a simmer

1. Simmer the mixture until it slightly thickens, typically around 5-7 minutes, depending on your desired thickness.

1. Ensure the seasoning is to your liking and make adjustments as needed. If more flavor is desired, consider adding additional curry paste before reaching for salt, as canned curry paste tends to be salty.

1. If the curry seems too thick, you can add a bit of water or stock to achieve your desired consistency. Don't forget to taste and adjust the seasoning before serving.

1. Serve with rice.

Safety Instructions:

1. Always use sharp knife, when you use a dull knife to cut, you need to apply more force. As a result, the knife is more likely to slip and this increases the risk of injury.

1. In order to prevent contamination, it is important to clean your knife as soon as you’re done using it. Leaving your knife on your cutting board or in a sink full of soapy water clutters your kitchen and creates opportunities for contamination and injury.

1. Always use a cutting board when cutting ingredients. This will allow you to cut consistently and protect your work surface in the process.

1. Never leave your stove unattended while cooking. Stay in the kitchen while you're frying, grilling, boiling or broiling food. If you have to leave the room—even for just a moment—turn off the stove.

1. Keep cooking equipment clean. Crumbs in a toaster, built-up grease on the stovetop, and excess dust behind your appliances are fire hazards.
