Instructions
Wipe any dirt off of mushrooms using a damp paper towel. Break into pieces and place into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until the mushrooms are coarsely ground.
In a small bowl or measuring cup, stir together the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add ground mushrooms and cook until all excess moisture has evaporated, about 8 minutes. Add onions, and cook until soft, about 3-5 minutes. Add garlic, and cook until fragrant, about 30-60 seconds. Add beef and break into pieces. Cook until beef is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Add the soy sauce mixture, and cook until the sauce thickens, about 3 minutes. Serve over rice, noodles, salad, or as lettuce wraps.
