How to Make A Great Appetiser Mushroom Salt And Pepper

  1. Drain the canned mushrooms and remove the stems.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the mushrooms, cornstarch, all-purpose flour, and salt. Add 2-3 tablespoons of water, mixing until the mushrooms are evenly coated.
  3. Heat 1/4 cup of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Carefully add the coated mushrooms to the hot oil, frying in batches until light golden brown. This should take about 5-7 minutes per batch.
  5. Remove the fried mushrooms and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  6. While the mushrooms fry, prepare the chili paste: Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a small pan. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
  7. Stir in the red chili powder and 1 tablespoon of water. Mix well to create a smooth paste.
  8. In a separate pan, heat 1 teaspoon of the reserved frying oil. Add the grated ginger and stir-fry until fragrant.
  9. Add the chopped green chilies, onion, prepared chili paste, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and chopped green onions.
  10. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the onions soften slightly.
  11. Add the fried mushrooms to the pan and toss gently to coat them evenly in the sauce.
  12. Transfer the mushroom mixture to a serving bowl.
  13. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
  14. Serve immediately and enjoy!
