Instructions
- Heat a large sauté pan and once hot add the oil and heat for a minute then add the onion and sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon over it. Sauté until it softens.
- Now add the shredded oyster mushrooms and mix well. Sauté for 5 minutes or until they begin to brown a little.
- Mix in the shredded cabbage, place a lid on the pan and cook until the cabbage has softened, about 8 minutes.
- While the cabbage is softening make the tinga sauce by blending the tomato, garlic, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and chipotles until you have a smooth salsa.
- Carefully pour the chipotle salsa over the vegetables. Mix until well combined. Cover the pan and cook for 10 minutes.
- Uncover and simmer until the sauce has thickened and there's no extra liquid. Taste and adjust salt if necessary.
