Ingredients

  • 2 king trumpet mushrooms
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 60 ml gluten-free hoisin sauce
  • Salt to taste
  • 6 bao buns can be gluten-free

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 200℃.
  • Using a fork, shred the raw mushrooms into stringy threads, including the caps.
  • Add to a baking tray with smoked paprika, garlic powder and salt and bake for 20-25 minutes.
  • Transfer to a pan with the hoisin sauce and allow to cook for a further 10 minutes on medium heat.
  • Stuff into bao buns and garnish with chives and sesame seeds.

Notes

  • King trumpet mushrooms can be replaced with other mushrooms like portobello, chestnut, oyster etc – they will not resemble the same ‘pulled’ texture as king trumpet but will still work nicely.
  • The pulled mushroom filling can be replaced with pulled jackfruit or banana blossom.
  • Hoisin sauce can be replaced with plum sauce.
