Notes

Don't skip the drying step for the mushrooms to ensure they become crispy. Feel free to adjust sauce ingredients based on your taste preferences—less sugar or more chili if you like it spicy! Leftovers can be stored separately in airtight containers and reheated gently to maintain the texture. For a lighter meal, try serving the mixture in lettuce wraps or using zucchini noodles instead of rice.
