Marinade

Place the mushrooms in a bowl and add two teaspoons of cornflour and coat the mushrooms well. Add soy sauce, grated garlic , one birds eye chilli, finely chopped and 20g of chopped basil. Mix well and refrigerate for a few hours.

Chilli Peanuts

Place peanuts, kaffir lime leaves, stalks removed, salt and chilli powder in a blender and blend well. Cover with cling film.

Mayonnaise

Put 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a frying pan with the chilli paste ( I used Sambal Oelek )and cook for a minute. Add 3-4 bruised kaffir lime leaves and cook for a further minute. Remove the lime leaves. Place the mixture in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of Mayonnaise, cover and refrigerate.

Mushrooms

Put Sesame oil in a frying pan. Sprinkle the pan with demerara sugar . Add the mushrooms and saute on both sides until golden and caramelised. Add salt and pepper and remove from the pan.

Shred the kaffir lime leaves to use as decoration.

Place Mayonnaise on a spoon, then a mushroom on top, sprinkle peanut crumb over the mushroom and place some shredded basil on top as a decoration and serve.
