Make Chili Mushrooms
- Mix ¾ cup of water, corn starch, soy sauce, sriracha sauce, rice vinegar and keep it on side.
- Heat 3 tbsp of peanut oil in a wide pan.
- Saute grated ginger and minced garlic on low/medium heat until the raw smell of garlic goes away (2-3 minutes).
- Saute cubed onions and green peppers on high flame until they get charred. This way they will still be crispy!
- Once onions and green peppers are charred, add baked mushrooms to the pan and mix it well. Cook on high flame for 2-3 minutes.
- Slowly add corn starch mixture to chili mushrooms and mix it well immediately. This will make very thick coating around onions, bell peppers and mushrooms.
- Garnish it with chopped cilantro and scallions, mix well and serve it hot!
