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

  1. 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.
  2. 2Heat a 12-inch skillet or wok over medium-high heat (400°F / 200°C). Add the 3 tbsp sesame oil.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 6Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for 5 minutes. This allows the flavors to combine.
  7. 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.
  8. 8Serve the Vegan Taiwanese Three Cup Mushrooms hot, ideally with cooked rice or quinoa.
