Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Clean and slice the mushrooms into even slices, about 1/4 inch thick.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and grate the ginger.
Slice the green onions diagonally into 1-inch pieces.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water until smooth, and set aside.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the sesame oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the garlic and ginger and sauté for about 30 seconds, until aromatic.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes, or until they have released their moisture and started to brown.
Add the low-sodium soy sauce, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to the mushrooms, stirring well to coat.
Pour the cornstarch mixture into the skillet and stir quickly to combine, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Add the green onion slices, toss well, stir-frying for another minute, then remove from heat.
Serve immediately as a side dish or over rice or noodles as a main course.
