Five Spice Portobello and Broccoli Stirfry

Last night we adapted a recipe from kidspot.com http://m.kidspot.com.au/best-recipes/dinner+7/five-spice-lamb-and-brocollini-stirfry-recipe+2342.htm by substituting portobello mushrooms for lamb and made our own Chinese 5 spice powder.

For the 5 spice powder, we used:

Star anise

Cloves

Cinnamon

Fennel seeds

We didn't have Sichuan pepper, so we used chili powder instead. 

For the recipe, the ingredients we used:

4 portobellos

2 tbsp plain flour

1 tbsp Chinese five spice powder

1 yellow bell pepper

1 head of broccoli

1 shallot

2 cloves garlic

5cm ginger (grated)

Vegetable oil

1/3 cup hoisin sauce

2 tbsp soy sauce

First we chopped/sliced all the ingredients:

And then we combined the sliced portobello mushrooms and the 5 spice powder in a sealed bag to shake up and coat the mushroom:

Next you heat the wok with some vegetable oil until it starts smoking, then stirfry the mushrooms for 3-4 minutes. 

At this point I added a little more vegetable oil and added all the rest of the vegetables. Stirfry for ~3 minutes. 

We also made instant mashed potatoes, but rice would work also. 

After that, add the hoisin sauce and soy sauce, cook for a couple more minutes, and then serve. If it looks too thick, you can add a splash of water as well. 

And of course a dash of sriracha to finish it off.
