Ingredients
Stir fry Sauce
- 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons shaoxing wine vinegar or sherry cooking wine
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon 5 spice
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch or arrowroot
Drizzle Sauce for Serving
- 2 tablespoons vegan oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon lite soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon water
Egg Roll Bowl
- 2–3 teaspoons avocado oil
- 3/4 pound cremini mushrooms, diced in small pieces
- 1/2 pound shiitakes sliced thin
- 2 shallots, sliced thin
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon garlic cloves, minced
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup carrot, shredded
- 3 cups savoy cabbage, cut into thin shreds (or regular cabbage or napa cabbage)
- 1/4 cup green onions
Garnishes: Drizzle sauce (above) toasted sesame seeds, sriracha, red pepper flakes or crisped wontons. Serve over jasmine rice, rice noodles or soba noodles.
Instructions
- Whisk the stirfry sauce: In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, white pepper, 5 spice and arrowroot. Set by the stove.
- Make the drizzle sauce: In another small bowl, whisk oyster sauce, rice vinegar, lite soy sauce, sugar and water. Save for serving.
- Stirfry the mushrooms: Heat a large skillet or a wok to medium-high heat. Add a couple of teaspoons of oil and cremini mushrooms. Stir for about 3 minutes. Push off to the side and add shallots and shiitakes stir for about 3 minutes.
- Sauté the aromatics: Push mushrooms to the sides, add one teaspoon of oil, garlic, and ginger to the open space and stir for one minute.
- Add salt, carrots and cabbage: Mix and cook about 5 minutes, stirring frequently (sometimes tongs are helpful here if your pan is full).
- Add green onions and the stir-fry sauce: Whisk the sauce first, as the cornstarch will have settled at the bottom, before pouring it in, and continue cooking until the cabbage and carrots are tender-crisp. (*see notes for a smokier flavor).
- Divide among bowls on its own, or serve it over jasmine rice, bean thread noodles, rice noodles, or black rice.
- Garnish with drizzle sauce, toasted sesame seeds, sriracha or red pepper flakes or crisped wontons.
Notes
To get a smokier flavor, cook the vegetables in separate batches on high heat until they char at the edges. Combine together, add sauce and scallions cook until desired doneness.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3 days in the fridge.
