Works best with

Any variety of oyster mushroom

Ingredients

  • 200g mushrooms, any variety of oyster mushrooms
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 red or white onion
  • 1 bell pepper, any colour
  • Bread, preferably sourdough or baguette
  • Mayonnaise, to serve

Method

  1. Slice, then fry off the onion & pepper until they're starting to brown, approx 5-7 mins. Remove from the pan into a covered bowl, to keep warm
  2. Rip or slice the mushrooms into strips about 5cm long
  3. Fry the mushrooms over a high heat for 3-4 mins - don't stir too much
  4. Once the mushrooms are starting to soften, put an empty pot, frying pan or pan lid over the mushrooms to weight them down - this will help them char
  5. After 2-3 mins, remove the pot / frying pan / lid, and add the soy sauce / tamari to the pan, stirring to ensure all the mushrooms are coated
  6. Get some mayo on your bread, add the onions, peppers & mushrooms, add a good crack of black pepper and serve

falfungi tip

Once the mushrooms hit the hot pan, resist the urge to keep stirring them. Leaving them alone for a few minutes — and pressing them down — is what gives you those lovely charred, crispy bits.
