Cooking tips 💡
- Do not wash mushrooms under water as it will wash away their aroma—just wipe or lightly scrape the outer surface.
- Mint and mushrooms lose their fragrance if cooked too long, so add them at the end and just briefly simmer.
- When adding the starch slurry, reduce the heat and gradually stir in small amounts to prevent clumping.
