Description

A reduction of soy sauce and calamansi juice coats the shiitake and oyster mushrooms in this sour, spicy Filipino dish that happens to be vegan.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 cup chopped red onion
8 cloves garlic, minced
2 green onions, white parts chopped and green parts thinly bias-sliced
4 Thai chile peppers, seeded and minced
1 pound fresh shiitake mushrooms, coarsely chopped
1 pound fresh oyster mushrooms, stemmed and sliced
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup calamansi (Philippine lime) juice
3 tablespoons avocado oil mayonnaise

Directions

1 Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, and white parts of green onions; cook and stir until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in chiles and mushrooms; cook, stirring, until tender and excess liquid evaporates, 5 to 8 minutes. Add soy sauce and calamansi juice; cook, stirring, until reduced to a glaze consistency, 5 to 7 minutes. Taste and add more soy sauce or calamansi juice to reach desired tanginess and saltiness.
2 Serve hot with a dollop of avocado oil mayonnaise and a sprinkle of the green parts of green onions.
