Looking for an appetizer?
What better than chilli garlic pan mushroom!
Chilli Garlic Pan Mushroom is a piquant and peppery appetizer which adds rich and deep flavor to delicious alongside sides like – Vegetable Sichuan Fried Rice. Mushroom seasoned with chilli and garlic perfectly complements the flat flavor of mushroom and makes it more appetising.
An appetizer is served before the main course which comes in small portions, helps you increase your hunger and prepare you for the main course. But a recipe like this one, is difficult to limit as an appetizer as its so tempting and mouth watering that you will be stuck to it and skip off the main course. Well of course, we don´t want that so why not serve it along our main dish as a side dish.
In this recipe, mushrooms are sautéed with spicy chilli and aromatic garlic with a dash of soya sauce. Soya sauce helps caramelising this spicy peppery mushroom to deep golden brown and adds an intense flavour to the dish.
The key ingredients here are – garlic and chilli so, use lots of it. I have used dried red chillies which were extremely hot, as I am a big fan of spicy food. But if you are not, then you can opt for mild chillies like Paprika/Bell Pepper, Jalapeno or Serrano which will help you moderate the spiciness yet add intense flavor to the dish.
Feel free to use any type of mushrooms for this recipe, as all types of mushroom tend to complement the flavors of chilli and garlic well.
Cut them thin – Cutting them thin will help them caramelize well and cook faster. It will also absorb the flavors well.
Do not Stir a lot – Stirring a lot will make the thin slices of mushroom break apart quickly and easily.
Making this recipe is pretty simple as also a time saver! Have all your ingredients ready and your sorted.
My chilli garlic pan mushroom recipe is created for small hunger and is a perfect side dish for most Asian main dishes. This can be made as an appetizer for any cuisine main course.
