Sweet and Sour Mushroom

If you like sweet and sour pork, this one’s the same, swapping meat for mushrooms and tofu instead. This vegetarian version is packed full of crunchy, water-bursting vegetables like cucumber, long beans, and capsicum that take in the sweet flavours of this iconic red Chinese glaze. The sticky thick coat itself is sweetened with honey, ketchup and tempered with savory liquid amnios in place of soy sauce, dressing the mix of king oyster mushrooms, tofu and veggies very well.
