Vegan Mushroom and Ginger Stir Fry

This vegan mushroom and ginger stir fry is packed full of umami flavours as well as the gentle heat of ginger.

Mushroom works so beautifully in stir fries. It’s hearty and holds loads of flavour, so you can use it as a base for almost anything.

I’ve made a simple stir fry sauce here which goes with almost any vegetables or meats you might want – it’s hugely versatile so feel free to get creative once you’ve made this a couple of times!

Vegan Mushroom and Ginger Stir Fry – The Ingredients

• The stir fry sauce – this sauce is made from dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, rice wine and rice wine vinegar, mixed with a little cornflour to gently thicken it. The sauce is seriously savoury and seriously tasty.
• The mushrooms – I used both chestnut mushrooms and woodland mushrooms here. You can use a selection of any mushrooms you like, but I recommend using a couple of different types to give the dish some variety. I like to use a cheaper mushroom (chestnut mushrooms) alongside a more expensive one (woodland mushrooms) to help balance the costs.
• Garlic and ginger – this recipe uses a lot of ginger – hence the name! I love the heat that comes from ginger, it is so warming and comforting. You could add a little chilli if you prefer a spicier stir fry.
• Noodles – I used straight to wok medium noodles, and soaked them in boiling water for 1 minute before adding to the wok. I find with straight to wok noodles that they can take a long time to separate if you don’t briefly soak them beforehand.
