Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes

Ingredients

  • 150 gr oyster mushrooms
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp five spice powder
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • For wrapping the mushrooms:
  • Rice Paper
  • 3-4 tbsp oil for frying
  • For the glaze:
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce/tamari
  • 1 tbsp honey or vegan honey
  • For garnish:
  • spring onions (finely sliced) finely sliced
  • sesame seeds (toasted) toasted
  • N.B: This recipe is inspired by Woon Heng

Instructions

  • Boil the oyster mushrooms for less than 30 seconds in boiling water.
  • Place them on some kitchen towel paper and pat them dry. Then season the mushrooms with five spice, garlic and onion powder and salt & pepper to taste.
  • Wrap the seasoned oyster mushrooms in Rice Paper (you soak these in some water first) and repeat this process. Shape them into a chicken breast shape and shallow fry them in oil on some medium heat until all sides are crispy. This takes about 5-7 minutes. Take them out and leave them on some kitchen towel paper.
  • In the meantime prep the glaze and then cut the vegan roast chicken into pieces. Place them on a plate and drizzle with the glaze. Garnish with some spring onions and toasted sesame seeds.
  • TIPS:- Serve over noodles, rice or eat it as it is.- Want some dried vegan “chicken” then shred the oyster mushroom and season it with the spices. Cook in a pan with a bit of oil until you have a dry and crispy texture. I like to eat this over rice or in a wrap.
