Note
Straw mushrooms can typically be found in the Asian foods section of most supermarkets. If unavailable, button mushrooms or shiitake mushrooms make a suitable substitute.
To ensure this recipe remains vegan, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and verify that your teriyaki sauce does not contain honey or fish sauce.
For a crispier texture, you can stir-fry the mushrooms and water chestnuts separately before adding them to the sauce.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of water to restore the sauce's consistency.
