In reply to Jeff Hale. Thanks for the kind words Jeff! Adding bean sprouts sounds like a great twist.

In reply to Aprillen. The saltiness of sauces always varies depending on the brands. If using a substitute, I suggest you add less than the suggested quantity and taste to adjust. Happy cooking!

Hi! I saw that someone else had asked if sambal oelek could be substituted for the pickled chili, which is good news since I have a big jar of that already. My question is, can it be substituted 1:1, or is one of those sauces hotter than the other? Should I add something else to get the same flavour as when using the Sichuan pickled chili?
Thank you!

In reply to Nina Garcia. Hi Nina! It's perfectly fine to skip wood ear mushrooms. Happy cooking!

Love this dish, but have someone who makes a fuss about mushrooms, can you suggest anything to use instead of mushroom that will still keep some integrity to this recipe?

In reply to Gary Flanigan. Thank you for trying out my recipe! The spiciness of the dish depends on the heat level of the pickled chili pepper that you use. Yes, removing the seeds would reduce the hotness (That's why I didn't suggest removing them in the recipe).

I made this, with the pickled peppers from Mama Market. While it was very tasty, it was not hot at all. I probably shouldn’t have removed the seeds from the peppers.

In reply to Anna. Yes, when doing bigger portions, always increase the ingredient quantity proportionally. But I don't recommend you cook stir-fry dishes in very big volume unless you wok is very big and cooker very powerful.
