Vegan Taiwanese Three Cup Mushrooms
A vegan twist on the classic Taiwanese Three Cup Chicken, replacing the chicken with hearty mushrooms. This dish is savory, slightly sweet, and deeply flavorful.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Shiitake Mushrooms
- 8 oz Oyster Mushrooms
- 3 tbsp Sesame Oil
- 3 tbsp Rice Wine
- 3 tbsp Soy Sauce (Gluten-Free Tamari)
- 2 tbsp Ginger
- 6 cloves Garlic
- 1/2 cup Thai Basil
- 1 small Red Chili
- 1 tsp Maple Syrup
Instructions
- 1Prepare your mushrooms: slice the 1 lb shiitake mushrooms into 1/4-inch thick pieces and roughly chop the 8 oz oyster mushrooms into bite-sized pieces.
- 2Heat a 12-inch skillet or wok over medium-high heat (400°F / 200°C). Add the 3 tbsp sesame oil.
- 3Add the 2 tbsp ginger and 6 cloves garlic to the hot oil. Sauté for 1 minute until you can smell their fragrance, being careful not to burn them.
- 4Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and chopped oyster mushrooms to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes until the mushrooms have softened and are lightly browned.
- 5Pour in the 3 tbsp rice wine, 3 tbsp soy sauce (Gluten-Free Tamari), and 1 tsp maple syrup. Stir everything together and bring the mixture to a simmer.
- 6Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for 5 minutes. This allows the flavors to combine.
- 7Remove the lid and stir in the 1/2 cup Thai basil and 1 small red chili (sliced if you prefer less heat). Cook for 1 minute more, just until the basil leaves begin to wilt.
- 8Serve the Vegan Taiwanese Three Cup Mushrooms hot, ideally with cooked rice or quinoa.
