I love Chinese food so much that I can eat it everyday. The best thing about Chinese cuisine is that they use lots and lots of veggies. I usually make stir fries, noodles, fried rice, Manchurian, chilli paneer and chilli chicken, and many more varieties. This was the first time I tried this garlic mushroom with gravy.It tasted too good, trust me friends. You can also have it as a soup skipping the corn flour part. I served them with vegetable fried rice today.

  • Next pour 4-5 cups of water and salt to taste. Reduce the heat to medium and let it cook for 6-7 minutes.
    Once the mushrooms are cooked through, add the corn flour dissolved in water little at a time while you continue to stir the gravy to avoid from forming lumps. Once all the corn starch is added, the gravy will start to thicken. Let it cook for 3-5 minutes on medium heat.
  • Add ground pepper and mix them well. Turn off the heat and let it rest for 5-10 minutes for all the flavors to blend well. Garnish with red chili flakes, spring onions and serve hot with veg fried rice or noodles. Enjoy!
