Schezwan mushroom is a popular Indo-Chinese mushroom recipe where mushrooms are tossed in hot and spicy schezwan sauce. This recipe is fairly simple and beginner-friendly. You can use store-bought hot sauce or schezwan sauce for this recipe, or you can try my easy homemade hot sauce as well.

I love Mushrooms, and I think they are a great plant-based source of protein. Very aptly, they have been called “vegetarian’s meat”! This spicy schezwan mushroom stirfry is yet another quick and hassle-free stir-fry dish that can be done in no time. You can serve it with some quick fried rice or noodles for a delicious homemade meal.

Serving suggestions

I paired Schezwan Mushroom with Garlicky Udon Noodles. It is a basic noodle stir-fry recipe. I chopped up some garlic and Onion in fine pieces. After sweating them in oil, I added the boiled Udon Noodles and some freshly cracked Peppercorns. That’s it. The best thing about Udon Noodles is that they are flat noodles and apart from soups, they make excellent stirfries.
