This 5-minute vegan oyster mushroom and spinach stir-fry is just what you need when you're pushed for time, ravenously hungry and need a quick meal... or just can't be bothered to spend ages slaving over a hot stove!
And in keeping with the spirit of this being a ridiculously speedy meal to make, this is going to be a fast blog post too. Why? Because all you really need to know is that this is not only easy-peasy to make but is really flexible too.
Use whichever mushrooms you like; add more or less greenery; use sausages instead of hot dogs; add raw spring onions... make it as you wish.
Can you believe it's been 30 years? Where has the time gone?!
The only real rule here is that it's best to stick to the ratio of oil and hoisin that I've used. More oil, and it will be greasy, less and the mushrooms won't cook properly in the allotted time. If you use too little hoisin, there won't be enough to flavour the mushrooms, and too much will make them salty and unpalatable.
Other than that, knock yourself out!
