Okay I have a very special recipe for you!


Vegan hoisin crispy duck bowls: pulled oyster mushrooms 🍄


Do you love Chinese crispy duck pancakes for your takeaway? But do you also want to try a meat free alternative, which is cheaper, healthier and EVEN yummier!


Well this is the dish for you.


The texture of the mushroom was spot on, just like the strands of duck you get at the Chinese. By cooking it slowly, and using another pan to reduce the water you also create that crispy texture. The flavour of the vegan hoisin was delicious and rich, with a zingy zesty touch. All in all this is another fantastic vegan dish which won’t make you miss meat.


I served this on a beg of nutty brown rice, with some fresh finely cut carrot and spring onion, like you would at a Chinese resturant. I also added in a bit of slightly pan fried pac choi which helped soak up that delicious hoisin sauce. This combination worked perfectly however you could swap that for some pancakes/ wraps for a perfect apetiser.

  • 2 tsp Chinese 5 spice
