Preparation and Cooking Steps

  1. 1

    Chop the Vegetables

    Start by finely chopping the onion and bell pepper. Slice the mushrooms into thin pieces. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Basil

    Wash the fresh basil leaves under cold water, pat them dry with a paper towel, and chop them roughly. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they are soft.

  4. 4

    Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the mushrooms are tender.

  5. 5

    Incorporate Chili Paste

    Stir in the chili paste, mixing well to coat the vegetables. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.

  6. 6

    Add Basil

    Finally, add the chopped basil to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for another minute to allow the flavors to meld. Remove from heat.
