Equipment

  • Large pot
  • airtight container such as a large canning jar with a lid

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound white button mushrooms washed and stems trimmed
  • ¼ cup avocado oil or olive oil
  • ¼ cup white wine vinegar
  • ¼ cup finely diced red onion
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tsp brown sugar packed
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • Tiny pinch of Szechuan peppercorns
  • ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 dried bay leaf
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional for spicy version: add 1 whole dried Thai chili (Bird's Eye chili)

Instructions
 

  • If the mushrooms are medium or large, cut them into halves or quarters.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Carefully add the prepared mushrooms to the boiling water. Cook mushrooms just until tender, about 4-5 minutes. Drain well.
  • LET THE MUSHROOMS COOL COMPLETELY.
  • In a large bowl, combine the fully cooled mushrooms with all other ingredients and mix well.
  • Transfer to an airtight container such as a canning jar with a lid and place in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours and up to 5 days. Shake the jar once a day.

Notes

Best served at room temperature.  The oils tend to solidify in the fridge but turn back to liquid if you bring the mushrooms out to warm up a little before serving time.
