1 bowl
8 min

My kids do not like the texture of mushrooms. Unfortunately for them, I don't take NO for an answer. I always come up with different ways in which they can eat healthy meals which they enjoy. In this recipe, I made a mushroom topping for salad by pulling the mushroom apart with a fork (more like pulled pork) and frying on medium high so the water evaporates while it caramelizes. After which It was stored in the refrigerator ready for my salads.

What type of mushroom is best?


With a fleshy shell and a long central stalk, Oyster mushrooms are the best choice for this recipe because, the stalk can easily be shredded with a fork and pulled apart. With the mushroom placed vertically, Insert the fork into the cap and drag towards you. Repeat until all the mushroom is shredded.
