Stir-fried Mushrooms


Also known as, Phad Het Kap Met Mamaung =)

Since I never like my veggies, I had to share when I finally made a veggie dish I liked. This came from a Thai cookbook, but the recipe doesn't actually have any specifically Thai spices in it. It does go with East Asian food well.

Stir-fried Mushrooms

Total time: 55 min
Serves: 4-6

Ingredients
20 oz. mushrooms, sliced
7 oz. cashew nuts
1/2 cup oil
4 tsp garlic, chopped
3/4 cup of onions, cut into wide squares
1/2 cup green bell pepper, cut into wide squares
4 dry roasted red chillis
4 spring onions, chopped
2 green chillis, chopped
salt and pepper to taste

Directions
1. Blanche the mushrooms (immerse in boiling water until cooked) and drain; keep aside. Fry the cashew nuts until golden brown.
2. Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet. Saute the garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
3. Add all the ingredients, including the mushrooms and cashew nuts, and toss on high heat for a few minutes. Add a little stock if needed.
4. Serve hot with steamed rice.
