Chinese Mushroom In Spicy Sauce

About Chinese Mushroom Recipe

This Chinese Mushroom recipe is not that fiery as it may seem to you. The sauce in this has a medium heat level in it which can be relished by one and all. If you are someone who can’t tolerate spicy food at all, you can still go easy on the chili elements in this recipe. The main ingredients in this dish are obviously white button mushrooms and soy sauce. I have used a naturally brewed soy sauce for the gravy. You can use whatever you have at home. Along with these, other regular ingredients in this recipe are scallions or spring onions, garlic, ginger and other spices. Chinese Mushroom is naturally a vegan recipe. To turn it into a gluten-free version, use a gluten free soy sauce for the gravy. This dish also is low on carbs and sugar. Thus, makes for a hearty meal. Since, mushrooms pair really well with garlic, this is definitely a winner recipe. I usually make this saucy dish as an accompaniment with the Chili Garlic Noodles, which takes the entire experience of having it to another level. These noodles are also just perfect with the Chinese Mushroom In Spicy Sauce. Other dishes that these moderately spicy saucy mushrooms go great with are Veg Noodles, Hakka Noodles and the Chow Mein too. If you are not in the mood to have noodles with it, you can enjoy it with any fragrant rice like steamed basmati rice or even jasmine rice. If you like mushrooms, you can find some delicious recipes that I have shared in this collection of Mushroom Recipes.
