Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams button mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 whole, minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon, grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 2 whole, sliced scallions (green onions)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms using a damp paper towel and cut them into halves or quarters depending on their size.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, red chili flakes, and cornstarch mixed with water until smooth. Set aside.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, stirring frequently for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their water and begin to caramelize.
Pour the sauce mixture over the mushrooms and toss well to coat.
Reduce the heat to medium and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring, until the sauce thickens and clings to the mushrooms.
Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced scallions on top and give it a final toss.
Remove from heat and serve warm as a side dish or over steamed rice for a light meal.
