Instructions:
- Clean the mushrooms thoroughly by wiping them with a damp cloth or rinsing them under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Slice the mushrooms into even pieces to ensure they cook evenly. If using a variety of mushrooms, keep pieces similarly sized.
- In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups of soy sauce, 1 cup of vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper sauce.
- Stir the marinade well to ensure the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
- Place the sliced mushrooms into a large bowl or shallow dish.
- Pour the marinade over the mushrooms, making sure they are completely submerged. You may need to gently toss them to coat evenly.
- Cover the bowl or dish with plastic wrap and let the mushrooms marinate for at least 30 minutes. For a more intense flavor, you can marinate them for up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Once the skillet is hot, add the marinated mushrooms in a single layer (you might need to do this in batches if your skillet isn't large enough).
- Stir-fry the mushrooms, turning frequently, until they are tender and have absorbed most of the marinade, about 8-10 minutes.
- If doing in batches, combine all cooked mushrooms back in the skillet for the last minute to ensure even cooking and flavor distribution.
- Transfer the cooked mushrooms to a serving dish.
- Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped herbs like parsley or chives for added color and flavor.
- Serve the stir-fry hot as a side dish or over a bed of rice or noodles for a main course.
