Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 250 grams Button mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 cup Vegetable stock
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Melt the butter and olive oil together in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the red chili flakes.
Add the sliced button mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden brown and tender.
Stir in the soy sauce and vegetable stock, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Reduce the heat to low, pour in the heavy cream, and stir to combine.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Gradually add the slurry to the sauce, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Season the sauce with black pepper and salt to taste. Simmer for another 2–3 minutes to let all the flavors meld together.
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm over your favorite dish, such as grilled meat, pasta, or roasted vegetables.
