This spicy tangy Hakka Chinese fave is really popular with Vegetarians and Non Vegetarians alike. I’m using canned mushrooms in this recipe, as I love the texture but you could use fresh Mushrooms as well!

In this simple but tasty recipe, I’m going to saute onion, chilli and garlic and add canned button mushrooms and allow them to simmer in a fragrant gravy

I don’t often cook a lot of Vegetarian dishes as my boys are CARNIVORES, however I do have a few really tasty Indo Chinese recipes up my sleeve. Recently we went with friends to the cottage and I was in charge of making Chilli Chicken – we have a vegetarian in our friend circle and I wanted her to have the same culinary experience and hence I decided to make this flavor packed recipe!
