No need to go to a restaurant to get an order to go! This recipe can be made at home with less fuss & in a single saucepan!

Ingredients:
- 2-8 oz. containers of white button mushrooms
- 1 T. avocado oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 c. water or chicken broth
- 1/2 tsp. chicken bouillon
- 1/4 tsp. white pepper, or to taste
- 2 T. soy sauce (or coconut aminos)
- 1 T. dark soy sauce (or dark coconut aminos)
- 1 T. oyster sauce
- 1 tsp. sesame oil
- 1 tsp. white sugar
- 1/4-1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes, optional or to taste
- 1/4-1/2 c. green onions, diced
- Fresh parsley, diced (optional garnish)
Ingredients for the Slurry:
- 2 T. water
- 1 T. cornstarch
Directions:
- In a large saucepan on medium heat add the avocado oil.
- Then add the minced garlic & stir to coat it in the oil. Cook it for about 15 seconds, just long enough until it is fragrant.
- Then add the mushrooms to the saucepan & turn the heat down to low.
- Next add the water, or chicken stock & the chicken bouillon to the saucepan.
- Then add the white pepper (to taste), the soy sauces & the oyster sauce. Plus the sesame oil, the sugar & the crushed red pepper flakes (optional or to taste).
- Turn the heat back up to medium & cook the mushrooms until they are done.
- Make the Slurry & stir it well to combine the ingredients together.
- Then add the Slurry to the saucepan, stirring as it is added, so that there are not any clumps. This will thicken up the sauce in the mushrooms.
- Turn the heat off & add the green onions. Stir them into the thickened mushrooms.
- Can be eaten as is, or over rice, or over noodles!
