Ziti with Chinese Sausage and
Oyster Mushrooms
You may substitute any other kind of fresh mushrooms. If you like spicy dishes, add
some sliced jalapenos when you add the scallions.
Ingredients:
- 4 ounces ziti
- 3 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
- 2 links Chinese sausage, thinly sliced (available in Asian markets)
- 1 teaspoon roasted sesame oil
- 1 bunch scallions, white part and 1 inch into dark green sliced into 1-inch pieces
- ˝ pound fresh oyster mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
- 3 tablespoons Chinese oyster sauce
Preparation:
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the ziti, stir, and cover, reduce
to a simmer, and cook until al dente, about 10 minutes.
While the ziti is cooking, heat the peanut oil in a large sauté pan or wok. Add the
sausage and sauté until some of the fat in the sausage begins to blend with the peanut
oil, about 3 minutes. Add the sesame oil, then add the scallions and sauté for 30
seconds. Stir in the mushrooms and sauté for 2 minutes, until the mushrooms go limp. Add
the oyster sauce and stir to combine. Remove from the heat.
Drain the ziti in a colander, pour into a bowl, add the mushroom mixture, and mix. Serve
immediately.
