Fool that loud meat-eater in your life, the one that proudly proclaims that no vegetarian dinner will go down his or her gullet. This take on Mongolian beef, substituting umami-bursting mushrooms for meat, brings all that classic flavor, but better. The garlic, sesame, ginger, and Sriracha combination animating the sauce will trick even the most boisterous of carnivores into chowing down on these veggies.
