Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Mushrooms (button or cremini)
- 2 medium Bell peppers (any color, sliced)
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Green onions (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Clean and slice the mushrooms into even slices. Wash and core the bell peppers, then slice them into thin strips.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water. Stir well until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they release their moisture and begin to brown slightly.
Add the bell pepper strips to the skillet and stir-fry for another 3 minutes, keeping the vegetables crisp-tender.
Pour the soy sauce mixture into the skillet and toss everything together to coat. Let it cook for about 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
If desired, sprinkle red chili flakes and salt to taste. Mix well.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with chopped green onions.
Serve the stir-fried mushrooms and bell peppers immediately as a side dish or over steamed rice or noodles for a light main course.
