Mushroom Stir fry Recipe
The meaty texture of mushrooms make it is a great meat alternative for meatless Mondays and makes a great side dish for not only vegans but anyone who loves good food.
Mushrooms are a rich source of vitamins and minerals, and definitely a good vegetable to add to your meal plan. Since we are talking vegetables I love a good Kabocha recipe. While this stuffed Kabocha squash isn’t low carb as is, it’s delicious and can be enjoyed on days when you want a treat.
Are Mushrooms Keto? Carbs in mushrooms.
Oh yes! Mushrooms are keto friendly and healthy for you. A cup of sliced mushrooms has a total 2.3g carbs and a net carb of 1.3g. Keto is usually associated with having lots of meat in your diet which isn't really the case. Mushrooms are a great alternative to meats especially for vegan low-carb meals.
Another amazing thing about mushrooms is that they absorb flavors really well. They can easily soak up flavors of any spice blend you want it to. If making an Indian dish, this will work well with Garam masala for instance.

How to cook this low carb and Keto Mushroom Stir fry
First you need to marinade the mushrooms like you would do any meats you. Mix the marinade ingredients with the cleaned and cut mushrooms and set aside for 8-10 mins

Get other vegetables ready, Sauté the chopped onions and marinated mushrooms then add the veggies then herbs. Let it simmer on low heat for another 3 minutes. Serve.

Make ahead, Storing and Reheating.
This is a quick meal and is best eaten fresh. However for meal prep purposes, you can make this up to 3 days ahead and it will keep well in the freezer.
I haven't needed to freeze this so I don't only if it freezes well. You can store leftovers from a fresh batch for 2-5 days in the refrigerator and reheat in the microwave or stovetop.
What to serve this vegan mushroom stir fry with.
I served mine with cauliflower rice , however, it can be served with any rice substitute you prefer. Shirataki rice is great substitute for rice and so is Cabbage rice. You can try them out and decide which you like best.
Mushroom Stir fry Variations
- Chicken mushroom stir fry: To make this add some shredded chicken breasts or thighs to this recipe. you will need to adjust the seasoning upwards according to your taste.

Quick Recipe notes and Tips
- Marinating the mushrooms helps it absorb more flavors.
- Depending on your goals this recipe makes 3 Standard servings and 2 generous servings.
- Rinse the mushrooms in a colander under running water instead of immersing in water. This way it doesn't absorb a lot of water which can make your dish more watery than you water.

My wife and I love all your recipes. Can’t wait to try this one. Is soy sauce gluten free? Thanks and happy new year to you.
Hi Ken,
Thank you for your kind words. Happy you and your wife love my Recipes. Most Soy sauce isn’t gluten free because they are made with wheat. However? Tamari Soy sauce is usually made without wheat so is gluten free. Coconut aminos a soy substitute is gluten free. Your best bet is to read labels of the products you buy to confirm. Hope that helps. Happy new year to you and yours. Wishing you a blessed 2021.
