Notes
Note 1: Kecap Manis (ketjap manis) is sweet Indonesian soy sauce. If you can't hold of it, replace with 1 tbsp dark soy sauce and 2 teaspoons of honey or sugar.
Note 2: Sambal Oelek (or sambal ulek) Indonesian chili paste – replace with Sweet Chili Crisp or Chili Garlic Sauce.
Note 3: I used beech mushrooms (shimeji) which cook quickly and don't require slicing.
