Ingredients

• ¼ cup water
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
• 1 English cucumber, thinly sliced
• ¼ cup oyster sauce
• 8 mini hamburger buns
• 2 ounces butter lettuce, shredded
• 1 tomato, thinly sliced and quartered
• 8 dill pickle slices

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Step 2

Drizzle burger buns with enough oil to flavor and moisten the buns but not make them soggy, about 4 tablespoons, and place on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

Bake buns in the preheated oven until bottoms become golden brown, about 8 minutes. Flip buns over and cook until second side is golden brown, about 5 minutes more.

Step 4

While buns bake, heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add garlic to hot pan so it sizzles and cook for 30 seconds. Add mushrooms and water; simmer, stirring constantly, until shrunken in size, about 3 minutes. Mix in oyster sauce and cook an additional minute.

Step 5

Assemble slider from the bottom up. Place a bun base on a plate and add a generous amount of lettuce. Add a cucumber slice, a piece of tomato, and a slice of pickle. Add a tablespoon of cooked mushrooms and top with the top bun. Repeat for remaining sliders.
