  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb fresh mushrooms of choice, I used a mix of king oyster & shimeji
  • Neutral oil for cooking
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 small white onion, small dice
  • 1 small red bell pepper, seeded and diced
  • 12 bird’s eye chiles, adjust depending on desired heat!
  • 1 green chili, sliced (I used a banana pepper)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce or vegetarian alternative
  • 1 tbsp vegetarian oyster sauce
  • 1.5 tbsp sugar adjust to taste
  • 1 tsp dark soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1/4 cup packed fresh holy basil or Thai basil leaves
  • Steamed rice to serve

Instructions

  1. Heat a large pan or wok over medium-high heat with some oil. Once hot, add the mushrooms and cook until they start to brown and release moisture, letting them char for flavor.
  2. Move the mushrooms to the side of the pan, add a bit more oil, and sauté the garlic and onion until fragrant.
  3. Add the bell pepper and chiles, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until slightly tender yet crisp.
  4. Mix all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl until the sugar has dissolved.
  5. Pour the sauce over the mushrooms, mixing well, and let it simmer to coat the mushrooms.
  6. Turn off the heat and toss in the basil leaves, mixing until wilted. Serve hot with rice.
