Ingredients

  • 3 cups chopped button mushrooms
  • 1 cup red bell pepper diced into medium-sized square pieces
  • 1 cup green bell pepper diced into medium-sized square pieces
  • 1 medium-sized onion diced into medium-sized square pieces
  • 3 stalks chopped spring onion keep white and green part separate
  • ½ cup cashew nuts
  • ½ tbsp grated ginger
  • ½ tbsp grated garlic
  • ½ tbsp grated galangal
  • 4-5 kaffir lime leaves
  • 1 stalk lemongrass
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice optional
  • 2-3 dried whole red chilies
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Salt as per taste
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp white vinegar
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a pan. Add cashew nuts and fry till they turn light brown. Take out on a plate and keep aside.
  • Add dried chilies to the same pan and saute for a few seconds.
  • Add grated ginger, garlic, and galangal. Saute for around a minute or till they become fragrant.
  • Next, add the diced onion and spring onion white part. Stir fry till they become translucent.
  • Crush the kaffir lime leaves and lemon stalk with your hands or by using a mortar and pestle and add to the pan. Don't make small pieces of leaves and stalk as they will be removed from the dish later. Saute for a few seconds and then add the mushrooms
  • Saute the mushrooms till their moisture gets evaporated.
  • Next, add the bell peppers and stir fry for around 3-4minutes on high flame.
  • Mix soy sauce, vinegar, salt, and sugar in a bowl and add to the pan. Mix well.
  • Add the spring onion greens, stir fry for about a minute and then switch off the gas. Remove the kaffir lime leaves and lemongrass stalk from the pan.
  • Finally, add fried cashew nuts and mix.
  • Squeeze in fresh lime juice and serve.

Notes

  • Here I have used button mushrooms, you can use any variety you like. Even a combination of different mushrooms tastes amazing in this dish.
  • Instead of cashew nuts, you can also use roasted peanuts.
  • If you don't have kaffir lime leaves, galangal, and lemongrass, use around 1-2 tablespoons of ready-made Thai curry paste.
  • You can also make stir-fried eggplants, stir-fried broccoli, or stir-fried tofu in Thai style following this recipe.
