Description

Use a combination of your favorite mushrooms in this easy stew recipe for two that starts out in a wok and finishes up in the oven.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups beech mushrooms
2 cups oyster mushrooms, sliced
1 cup shiitake mushrooms, chopped
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons diced red bell pepper
2 tablespoons sliced green onions
1 teaspoon ground white pepper

Directions

1 Put a clay pot into a cold oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2 Heat oil in a wok until shimmering. Add beech, oyster, and shiitake mushrooms. Cook and stir until mushrooms soften and volume is reduced, 3 to 5 minutes. Add chicken stock and salt. Increase heat and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and transfer mushroom mixture to the preheated clay pot.
3 Turn the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) and bake the mushrooms for 10 minutes.
4 Stir water and cornstarch together in a small bowl. Remove mushrooms from the oven, add cornstarch mixture, and stir everything evenly. Cover, increase oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), and bake for another 10 minutes.
5 Stir in bell pepper, green onions, and white pepper. Bake for 5 minutes and serve.
