Thai Peanut Sauce Mushrooms
Thai Peanut Sauce Mushrooms are a savory, creamy, and spicy dish that’s perfect for a quick appetizer or side.
Ingredients
- 2 cups mushrooms cremini, shiitake, or button, sliced
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter creamy
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce low sodium
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon chili paste or sriracha
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil or vegetable oil
- Optional: chopped peanuts cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the mushrooms: Clean and slice the mushrooms into even pieces.
- Make the peanut sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, chili paste, garlic, and ginger until smooth.
- Cook the mushrooms: Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender and golden brown.
- Combine with sauce: Once the mushrooms are cooked, pour the peanut sauce over them and stir well to coat. Let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Serve: Transfer the mushrooms to a plate and garnish with chopped peanuts and fresh cilantro. Serve immediately with steamed rice, noodles, or as a stand-alone dish.
Notes
- If you prefer your sauce to be creamier, add a splash of coconut milk to the peanut sauce.
- Be sure to taste the sauce before adding the chili paste; you can always add more for extra heat.
