How do I cook oyster mushrooms?

Oyster mushrooms are best cooked hot and fairly dry so they brown rather than steam. Tear larger clusters into pieces, add them to a hot pan with a little oil, and let them release and reabsorb their moisture before seasoning. They suit stir-fries, curries, and pulaos, and take on spices well. Always cook them through, since gourmet mushrooms are not eaten raw.
