INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare the oyster mushrooms
- You don’t need to wash them. If you still see some dirt, wipe it clean with a cloth and cut off the tip of the stem.
- Take two forks and pierce the king oyster mushrooms, with one at its neck, right below the cap.
- Use the other fork and pull it along the stem. Push it gently so it pierces the mushroom. Repeat as long as you have a stem to shred.
- Caps are not easy to shred with a fork. We recommend cutting them as thin as you can with a knife.
Roast them in the oven
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a silicone baking sheet.
Preheat oven to 390 Fahrenheit (ca. 199 °C).
Spread the shredded mushrooms, if possible, in one layer.
Add seasoning and a bit of oil. Mix until they are well-coated.
Roast them for 20-25 minutes. Depending on the size of your strips, you may need short, or longer baking time. We recommend checking it halfway and flipping and stirring them to ensure all edges will be crispy at the end.
Make BBQ vegan pulled pork
- Heat a frying pan or cast-iron skillet over low-medium heat.
- Add homemade vegan BBQ sauce and roasted pulled oyster mushrooms. Mix them well with a spatula or tongs.
- Fry them for approx. 2-3 minutes to make them sticky and juicy.
- Serve with vegan coleslaw in between burger buns.
