shrimp mushrooms Ingredients preparation

Instructions

Step 1: Clean the mushrooms
Soak them in water with a little flour or baking soda for about 5 minutes to remove any dirt, then rinse well.

Step 2: Remove the stems
Gently twist off the stems, being careful not to break the caps. The hollowed-out mushrooms will hold the shrimp filling, so bigger caps work best. (Mine were a bit too small this time—stuffing was a tight squeeze!)

Step 3: Dust with cornstarch
Lightly coat the inside of each mushroom with cornstarch—this helps the shrimp paste stick better.

Step 4: Stuff with shrimp paste
Fill each mushroom with the shrimp paste, pressing gently to pack it in snugly (see photo). Repeat until all mushrooms are stuffed.

Step 5: Steam
Arrange the mushrooms in a steamer and steam over high heat for 8 minutes once the water boils.

These shrimp-stuffed mushrooms are super easy to make. Juicy and savory, each bite bursts with flavor—simple, healthy, and absolutely satisfying!

Ingredients

10 large white mushrooms
100g seasoned shrimp paste
2 tsp cornstarch (for coating)
Sauce:
2 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tsp cornstarch
½ tsp sugar
½ small cup water

Directions

Soak the mushrooms in water with a bit of flour or baking soda for about 5 minutes. This helps get rid of any hidden dirt.
Gently twist off the stems without breaking the mushroom caps. We want a nice hollow space to stuff the shrimp paste. Pro tip: choose larger mushrooms—they’re easier to stuff. Mine were a bit small, so it was a tight fit!
Lightly coat the inside of each mushroom with cornstarch. This helps the shrimp paste stick better.
Spoon or pipe the shrimp paste into each mushroom cap. Press it down gently with your finger to pack it in nicely.
Place the stuffed mushrooms on a plate and steam over high heat for 8 minutes once the water is boiling.
They should come out fragrant and juicy—don’t they smell amazing?
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, cornstarch, and water until smooth.
Pour any juices from the steamed mushrooms into the sauce. Heat over low heat and stir until it thickens into a glossy glaze.
Pour the sauce over the mushrooms. They’re now ready to enjoy—healthy, tasty, and satisfying!
Pair them with a plate of stir-fried noodles for a quick, wholesome dinner—perfect for busy weekdays or anyone watching their weight.

Notes

If your shrimp paste is plain, season it with salt and white pepper before using.
Frozen shrimp paste? No problem—just thaw it in cold water while still sealed.
Always go for larger mushrooms—they’re easier to work with.
Don’t over-steam them, or the mushrooms will turn mushy.
