This sweet and sour mushroom stir-fry is so delicious, tasty and easy to prepare in just 15 minutes. It's vegetarian but full of nutrients, especially good for stabilizing the immune system and preventing cancer.

Ingredients

Sweet and Sour Mushroom:

  • 1 pound cremini or button mushrooms
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • Green onion and sesame seeds to garnish

SWEET & SOUR SAUCE:

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1.5 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1.5 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 100 ml cold water
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch

Instructions

  • Cleaning the mushroom - Use a dry brush or paper towel to clean the mushroom. Don't wash it with water as mushrooms can absorb excess moisture which can dilute their flavor when cooking.
  • Preheat the non-stick pan - Heat the non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
  • Sauté the mushrooms in the pan - don't stir them for about 2 minutes until they start to release their natural water content.
  • Add the oil and garlic and stir-fry with the mushrooms for 1 minute.
  • Add the sweet and sour sauce, stir for 1 minute, cover the pan and sauté over a medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Remove to a plate and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
  • Ready to serve hot over steamed rice.
