Is that New year’s resolution to do more meatless meals still going strong or has it become a struggle to figure out what to do next? Wonder no further with this delicious take out classic made completely vegan; Kung Pao FunGuy mushrooms! 

This is an easy swap that is no less delicious than the original. Add these spicy stir fried mushrooms to rice, noodles, or just grab a bowl on it’s own to enjoy!

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Place the FunGuy mushrooms into a bowl and drizzle the sesame oil on top. Sprinkle the cornflour over the mushrooms and toss to coat the mushrooms well. Set aside. 
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, soy sauce, and orange juice. Set aside
  3. Heat the peanut oil in a large wok over high heat. Add the Sichuan pepper corns to the pan and saute for 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Toss in the onion, garlic, and ginger and saute 1 minute. Add the carrot and cook 4-5 minutes, or until starting to become tender.
  4. Add the mushrooms to the pan and saute them for 3-5 minutes, or until they start to brown. Add the bell pepper and saute until just tender but a vibrant green. Pour the orange juice mixture into the pan and stir well and cook 2 minutes longer. It’s done when the liquid in the pan thickens and becomes a shiny coating on the mushrooms and vegetables. Turn off the heat and add 2/3rds of the peanuts and the white part of the spring onion to the pan and stir to combine. 
  5. Divide the Kung pao mushrooms on to individual plates and top each with the rest of the peanuts and green spring onion tops. Serve immediately. 

Have a Fun meal!
