Quick and Easy Stir Fried Mushrooms and Baby corn

Feel like having some Indochinese food? Stir fry some baby corns and mushrooms with some sauces readily available at home! Both baby corns and mushrooms cook very fast and have a juicy texture. Baby corn is an important Thai crop and  goes well in all Indochinese cuisines. 
Here we go!

Ingredients:
10-15 Baby corn ears, chopped into halves
10 Button mushrooms, chopped into halves
2 tsp Tabasco sauce (red pepper flavour)
21/2 tbsp Chilli garlic sauce (or any tomato sauce)
2 tbsp Sweet soy sauce  
1 tsp Corn starch (optional)
3 slit and deseeded red chillies
2 pods of garlic, coarsely chopped
A pinch of Ajinomoto (optional)
Extra virgin olive oil
salt(optional)

Method:

Simply mix all the sauces with corn starch (if using) and keep aside. Slightly heat olive oil in a skillet and add the coarsely chopped garlic pods. As the garlic softens, add the fresh red chillies and the baby corns. Toss them for a few mintues, add the mushrooms and let cook for 2 minutes. Now add the sauce mixture(together with ajinomoto, if using). Stir fry dry . You can dispense with the salt as there's enough in the the soya sauce ! Stir fried mushrooms and baby corn is ready to serve.
