MUSHROOMS:

• This is the main product in the recipe. We use button mushrooms. The mushrooms give a texture similar to meat. These get juicy after cooking. These also provide an umami taste. Using oyster mushrooms is an alternative.

OLIVE OIL:

• We use oil to pan-fry the mushrooms. This way, they do not stick. Olive oil also gives a rich taste to the mushrooms. Coconut oil or avocado oil is a substitute.

GARLIC:

• It provides a deep flavor. Also, the scent of the mushrooms becomes nice. Using fresh garlic is the better option. If it is not there for you to use, use garlic powder.

SOY SAUCE:

• When we add it to the glaze, it gives it a color. It also gives a salty taste to the mushrooms. Coconut aminos is a substitute option.

MAPLE SYRUP:

• This helps in making the glaze stick to the mushrooms. It also provides sweetness. Use date syrup as a substitute.

RICE VINEGAR:

• Rice vinegar gives freshness to the mushrooms. It helps in balancing the sweet and salty taste. Lemon juice is also an option to use.

CORNSTARCH:
