For the homemade hoisin sauce:
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 1 tsp smooth peanut butter
- 1/4 tsp Chinese five spice
For the vegetarian Chinese pancakes:
- 1 tbsp oil
- 300 g mushrooms, sliced (~ 5 cups when sliced)
- 100 g exotic mushrooms (I used shiitake and oyster), sliced (~ 2 cups when sliced) - or just more regular mushrooms
- 6 Chinese pancakes
- 1/2 cucumber, cut into thin sticks
- 4 spring onions, cut into very thin sticks
- 2 tsp sesame seeds
To make the homemade hoisin sauce, add all the ingredients to a small bowl, and mix well. Don't worry if the peanut butter doesn't combine perfectly - it'll all melt together in the pan.
Heat a dash of oil in a frying pan, and add all of the sliced mushrooms. Cook over a medium heat for 5 minutes, until soft. Pour over the hoisin sauce, and cook for a further 5 minutes, until the sauce has become thick and glossy.
Serve the hoisin mushrooms in Chinese pancakes, with thin sticks of cucumber and spring onion, and a sprinkling of sesame seeds.
