Ingredients
Instructions
  • Remove the cap of the king oyster mushrooms, rinse well and pat dry. Bring the saucepan of water to a boil, add the leek which I have cut into shorter lengths, a few slices of garlic and ginger, half a teaspoon of salt, bring to a boil until it gets aromatic. Add the king oyster mushrooms and cook for about 30 minutes until they get tender and fragrant.
  • Use a knife to make a cut lengthwise into the king oyster mushrooms about one inch into the body. Then run the knife around the core of the mushrooms and cut it open into a rectangular piece about 1 inch thick. Then score diagonal lines in a crisscross button on both sides of the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper and wrap well on both sides.
  • Place half a cup of tapioca starch on a plate, roll the mushroom stick over the tapioca starch to coat on both sides.
  • Soak the bean curd skin in water for about 5 minutes to soften, then drain well and layout on a flat surface. Place the mushroom stack in the center and wrap up like you would wrap a parcel.
  • For the sauce, you will need a tablespoon of vegan oyster sauce, a teaspoon of sesame oil, half a teaspoon of five-spice powder, half a teaspoon edge of pepper, and stock powder, a teaspoon of vinegar, a teaspoon of sugar or maple syrup. Stir well to combine.
  • Heat some oil in a pan, fry our parcels until golden brown on both sides. Brush the sauce over the two sides. Of the parcels, simmer on low heat for about 1 minute per side until you get little caramelization on the skin. Drain off the oil and chop into bite-size pieces.
