Basil Mushrooms in Cream Sauce

  3.8 – 3 reviews  • Italian

Our favorite dish at the restaurant, with creamy Sriracha mayo drizzled over salty fried rice and bite-sized, crisp-tender veggie pieces. This is easier to cook on a sheet pan so the rice becomes crispy all the way around than it would in a standard skillet. It also makes for a great presentation and a very simple cleanup. You might also include cooked chicken or shrimp.

ok. Didnt have any rum. Added garlic. Not worth all the effort of making homemade sauce.
Peggy Chen
We really liked this recipe. I have made it a few times. After the first time I now skip the rum.

This wasn’t bad. I added a bit more sherry instead of the rum. I was worried I wouldn’t have enough sauce for my pasta so I ended up adding about a 1/4 cup of milk near the end just to make a bit more. This may just be because I reduced the serving size for 1 instead of 4. I cooked up a pork chop in the pan before making the sauce, but I think next time I may just cook the meat in the sauce.
