2) It’s incredibly tasty.

3) It’s completely vegan!

It’s one of those recipes that isn’t necessarily trying to be vegan/vegetarian. It is completely satisfying and delicious. Even if you’re not on a plant-based diet, you’ll enjoy this stir-fry as a main dish or side.

Note that this dish is very spicy. If you’d like to make it more mild, substitute the long hot peppers with thinly sliced sweet bell peppers.

INGREDIENTS

- 500g oyster mushrooms

- 5 tablespoons vegetable oil (divided)

- 6 slices ginger

- 8 cloves garlic (sliced)

- 1 tablespoon spicy bean sauce

- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce

- 1/2 teaspoon sugar

- 5 long hot peppers (red and/or green, de-seeded and sliced diagonally)

INSTRUCTIONS
