If you sometimes have the craving for a good starter from the Chinese kitchen but don’t want to make that extra effort to get it in? Mushroom Chilli is a solution. It is quick, spicy, and filling without any unnecessary pre-planning. Consider it an especially handy recipe for times when you need a delicious dish fast. You’ll get crispy mushrooms swimming in the tangy, spicy sauce that’ll take your breath away.
Marination magic, The mushroom prep
Now let’s get going in prepping the mushrooms. Cut them up into strips, not too thin, not too thick. Now in a bowl, mix them with cornflour, plain flour, ginger-garlic paste, chilli powder, salt, soy sauce, and just a hint of Schezwan sauce. Get in there and mix well so that every piece is coated. Let it stand for about ten minutes. This time let the flavor in, and that flavor brings in extra taste in the mushrooms.
Crispy goodness, frying the mushrooms to perfection
Take a pan and heat the oil deep enough to fry. Put the marinated mushrooms in and fry them till golden and crispy. You want a crunch with every bite! Once done, take them out and keep them aside. And there, your crispy mushroom base is ready.
Saucy sensation, The flavour base
In the same wok with a bit of oil, add the Stir-fry ginger-garlic paste and finely chopped onions and capsicum. Fry until the onions start turning translucent. Now, this is where the magic happens. Pour in soy sauce, chilli sauce, tomato ketchup, and Schezwan sauce. Mix everything well, letting the sauces stick together to form a thick, sticky, and glossy gravy. This gravy is the heart of your Mushroom Chilli and bears the tang and spice of its restaurant-style counterpart.
Finishing Touch The Final Concoction
Now, add all the fried mushrooms into the sauce. Toss it well until every inch is coated. Keep the flame high while mixing this. The high flame is key for that aroma and the deliciously slightly charred flavor reminiscent of street-style Chinese dishes. Once mixed properly and the sauce thickens, get set to serve. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves for that extra aroma and freshness. Serve piping hot with your family. This Mushroom Chilli works excellently as a starter or side dish and is bound to be a hit among everyone.
