Ingredients
- 500 grams Baby bella mushrooms
- 60 grams Arrowroot powder
- 60 ml Coconut aminos
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 Fresh red chili, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 4 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
1. Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth to remove dirt and pat them dry. Cut larger mushrooms in half to ensure even cooking.
Step 2
2. In a bowl, toss the mushrooms with 1 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, and arrowroot powder until they are evenly coated.
Step 3
3. Heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the mushrooms in a single layer. Cook them in batches if necessary, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove mushrooms to a plate lined with a paper towel and set aside.
Step 4
4. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium, and add 2 tablespoons of sesame oil. Add minced garlic, chopped red chili, and ground ginger. Sauté until aromatic, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 5
5. Pour in coconut aminos and stir, scraping any mushrooms bits from the bottom of the pan. Allow it to simmer for 2 minutes to thicken slightly.
Step 6
6. Return the crispy mushrooms to the skillet and toss them in the sauce until well coated and heated through.
Step 7
7. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
Step 8
8. Serve immediately and enjoy the delicious combination of crispy and spicy flavors.
