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

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
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.

Add Mushrooms
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the mushrooms are tender.
5
Incorporate Chili Paste
Stir in the chili paste, mixing well to coat the vegetables. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.

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.
