- Close by expelling as much air as possible.
- Reserve on a sheet of parchment paper until ready to cook.
Garlic oil
- Heat the oil in a pan and sauté the garlic over medium-low heat until it begins to turn lightly golden and crisp. Immediately transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Black mushroom sauce
- Soak the black mushrooms in lukewarm water until softened.
- Drain but reserve the water of the black mushrooms.
- Squeeze excess water from the mushrooms and cut them into pieces.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a small saucepan and sauté the garlic and mushrooms for 1 minute. Add the rest of the ingredients except for the cornstarch mixture.
- Bring to a boil.
- Cover and simmer for 20 minutes over low heat.
- Stir in the cornstarch mixture and, while stirring, allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
