  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 beef or chicken bouillon cube, crumbled
  • 1 teaspoon Thai fish sauce (optional)

  1. In a large pot heat butter and oil over medium-high heat until butter is melted.
  2. Sauté chopped onion for 3 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for about a minute, until fragrant.
  3. Add sliced mushrooms, cook for 5 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle flour over mushrooms, mix well and cook for 2 minutes.
