Are you looking to reduce your meat consumption? If so, I have the perfect suggestion for a quick, easy, and delicious dinner option. This time, let's spotlight mushrooms.

Our daily meals often include meaty dishes, but that doesn't mean you can't whip up an exciting and mouth-watering meal without meat. Surprisingly, such dishes can captivate both with their flavor and presentation.

Still skeptical? Then, try the recipe below for fried mushrooms in a sweet and sour sauce. It will illustrate how quickly you can prepare it, introducing you to a flavor profile that will leave a lasting impression. To top it off, mix the contents of the pan with cooked rice for a complete family dinner.

For the marinade:

  • 1/2 cup of ketchup,
  • 1/3 cup of soy sauce,
  • 1/4 cup of rice vinegar,
  • 1/4 cup of sugar,
  • 1/2 teaspoon of pepper.

Other ingredients:

  • 5 tablespoons of vegetable oil,
  • 10.6 ounces of small mushrooms,
  • 5 cloves of garlic,

Preparation:

Step 1. Begin by making the marinade. Combine ketchup, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and pepper in a bowl. Stir the ingredients well until fully mixed.
