Coat large pan with 1 tbsp. oil. Over low to medium heat, sauté mushrooms, peppers and onions, stirring occasionally. While the mushroom mix cooks, mix the liquid ingredients in a small bowl. Start with 1/4 cup measurements and adjust to taste. Add the ginger, chili flakes and pepper. Mix well and set aside. Continue to sauté mushroom mix until onions have begun to caramelize. Add sauce and cook for 10 —15 minutes, until the glaze begins to thicken.
