Crispy stir-fried mushrooms

Question

How do you prepare mushroom pepper fry? I wanted it to be crispy, but the mushroom itself was generating lot of water. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Recipe questions are off-topic for this forum: http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/1288/food-and-cooking/1313#1313 I'd suggest re-asking a more general question about how to fry mushrooms so that they're crispy. — Harlan, Jul 18 '10 at 23:36

Mushrooms typically release water if they are overcooked and also if salt is added too early in the cooking process.

When cooking mushrooms, cook them on a relatively high heat until they have just developed some colour. at the end of the cooking process add your seasoning.

also- don't crowd them. put them in your hot pan, in a single layer, with space inbetween the mushrooms.

let them sit a while, then stir them up a bit, then let them sit a while, then stir a bit.
