Life's Sweet Fudge

Posts Tagged ‘mushroom’

Today is one of those days when I don’t know what to cook for lunch. I opened my freezer and there I saw chicken breast and frozen sweet peas so it gave me an instant idea what to cook. Fortunately, I have a can of button mushrooms but I got no all purpose cream or cream of mushroom but I know what to substitute for it.

Ingredients: The measurements are just approximates bec. most of the times I don’t really measure when cooking, ok

1 tbsp. butter
1 tbsp. cooking oil
1 onion
2-3 cloves of garlic
1 can of button mushrooms cut into pcs.
1 carrot – cut into strips
1 chicken breast – cut into strip
about 1/2 cup of sweet peas
salt, pepper,
about 1/2 cup of water
about 1/2 cup of evaporated milk –(you can also use all purpose cream or cream of mushroom soup) Note: if you use cream of mushroom, i think you don;t need cornstarch anymore because this is already thick)
cornstarch dissolve in water

Procedure:
1. Put cooking oil 1st so that butter will not burn, butter then saute garlic, onion.
2. Add the chicken, cook until it changed color
3. Add the veggies. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Add water and the milk. Cover and simmer
5. Add the cornstarch until thick.
6. Adjust seasoning according to your taste. Serve hot! Yum!

Here’s another quick and tasty recipe that I cooked few weeks ago. My friend posted a photo at her IG acct. the dish with mushroom that they ate in her fave restaurant and I drooled over it so I decided to cook this Beef with Mushroom in Oyster Sauce.

Ingredients:

1/2 kilo or sirloin beef cut into strips
1 can button mushrooms
1 onion
2- 3 cloves garlic
1 carrots cut into strips
approximately 1/2 c water
3-4 Tbsp oyster sauce
pepper

Directions:
1. Saute garlic, onion. Add the beef
2. Add carrots, mushroom. then add water. Simmer till tender
3. . Add the oyster sauce until cooked

So easy!
