MUSHROOM STIR-FRY




Mushrooms are  fat free, natural sources of Vitamin D and a valuable source of fiber. Over the years, mushrooms have gained popularity in Indian Cooking as it is easily available in market and is no longer considered an exotic ingredient.

INGREDIENTS:

Button Mushrooms (Thinly Sliced) - 12-14
Onion (Thinly Sliced) - 1
Tomato (Julienne) - 1
Vinegar - 2 tbsp
Soya Sauce - 1 tbsp
Oil - 2 tbsp
Salt & Pepper- To taste


PROCESS:

1. It is important to clean the mushrooms before cooking. Use a wet cloth or wet tissue paper to wipe them nicely. Then thinly slice them.


2. Take a Wok or Kadhai with big surface area. This will help in spreading them out which will make the moisture from the mushrooms evaporate quickly. Add 1 thinly sliced onion to heated 2 tbsp oil and sauté till the onion turns translucent.


3. Add julienne of 1 tomato to it. Stir well.



4. Now add the mushrooms and sauté it for a while.



5. Now add the vinegar and soya sauce one after the other and mix well.



6. Add salt and black pepper to taste and stir for a while. It is important to add salt at the end and not in the beginning because it will quickly take out all the juices resulting in chewy mushrooms.  



7. Its done. Serve hot! You can also have it with any Chinese dish of your choice.
