Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 100 g shiitake mushrooms finely diced
  • 1 medium brown onion finely diced
  • 20 g ginger minced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 birdseye chilli minced
  • 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons fermented black beans minced
  • ½ teaspoon annatto paste
  • 3 tablespoons hot water

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Once hot add the minced shiitake mushrooms. Sauté the mushrooms until they have released all their liquid and they are turning golden around the edges, around 8 minutes.
  • Add the onion and continue to sauté until they are soft and translucent, around 6 minutes.
  • Add the minced ginger, garlic and chilli. Continue to cook for a further minute.
  • Dissolve the annatto paste in a bowl with 3 tablespoons of boiling water. Once dissolved add to the pan with the dark brown sugar and minced fermented black beans. Mix everything together and continue to cook until the mixture becomes thick, around 6 minutes.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge.

    As fresh shiitake are unavailable where I live, do you think the dried would work in this? Sounds a tasty condiment to have in the fridge.

      I have not tried this myself, however, if you make sure to rehydrate the shiitake by pouring over boiling water for 20 minutes then thoroughly draining them, you should get something relatively close.
