Hoisin Oyster Mushroom Sandwich

Ok this recipe is really easy and can be easily adapted to suit whatever you want flavour wise, its also amazing as a pulled pork substitute. I made this hoisin mushroom a few weeks back for a sushi bowl. However i could not resist popping it into a sandwich with a little shredded naked slaw of carrots and cabbage and a quick pickle cucumber. I also popped on some spring onions on there because what is the hoisin without that spring onion flavour? nothing i tell you, nothing. Lets dive straight into what your going to need for this, the mushrooms are the most important part of this dish i found mine in sainsbury's I've also seen them in most local market stalls. 

what you will need;

this serves around 2 people 

Around 125g mushrooms 

2tbs of your favourite hoisin sauce 

1/4 tsp onion powder 

1/4 garlic powder 

thin sliced cucumber placed in a little rice vinegar (while you prep rest of the sandwich) 

shredded carrot and cabbage 

1 chopped spring onion 

a little parsley 

2 buns of choice 

Method; 

First off you need to pre cook your mushrooms before you "pull" them so you can either dry fry them in a pan or pop them in the microwave for around 3 minutes until they become soft enough to pull with 2 forks. Once you have pulled them they are ready for the flavours so drain off any water and add in your powders and pop back into the pan. Dry fry for a few minutes then when your happy with the texture add in the sauce and fry for a further minute to make the sauce sticky. Serve with cucumber, shredded carrot and cabbage, spring onion and a little parsley on top. Tip to add a little sauce to the bun at the top to help it all stick together. 

I hope you enjoyed this recipe, if you do decide to make this pop on over to social media and tag me i love seeing your recreations! until next time, Helen xx
