So, this recipe is again very simple and quick to make. The main ingredients in this recipe are mushrooms and chili paste and sweet basil. This dish as it own unique taste. The chili paste on its own is a little bit boring, however it works great together with basil. Without basil, you shouldn't make this dish....I worn you.🍛

This recipe is vegetarian, However, you can use pork or chicken instead of mushrooms, if you want.

🏶 Ingredients 🏶

1 1/2 cup chopped mushrooms of your choice
1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
7 cloves of fine chopped garlic
1 tablespoon vegetarian chili paste
1 teaspoon coconut sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon mushroom sauce (or soya sauce)
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup sweet basil
1/4 cup thinly sliced long pepper (any color is fine)

If you cannot find the exact same sauce as in this recipe, you can replace some ingredients with what you have in hand that has similar test and texture. Play with what you have and enjoy the unique result :)

🏶 Directions 🏶

Heat the pan over medium heat. Add vegetable oil. Once the oil is hot, add in the garlic and stir until smell.
Add mushrooms and stir until in cooked.

Stir in chili paste, coconut sugar, mushroom sauce, and water and let it simmers until it gets a little bit dryer.
Add Sweet basil and long peppers. Stir while removing heat.

That's it. Serve with steamed jasmine rice and fresh salad. Even this dish has chili paste as a main ingredient, it is not spicy tho. So if you don't eat spicy, this will be a good Thai food for you. I had it for dinner with a big bowl of mixed vegetable clear soup today and YES! they are just right together. I hope you give it a try. Let me know if there's any other Thai food that you like and want to know how to cook them. I will put them up for you in a real Thai style cooking.
