Black Pepper Mushroom
This is a vegan version of a Vietnamese homemade dish I grew up eating: Black Pepper pork chop. It features meaty king oyster mushrooms in a savory, peppery sauce. This dish can be made in 15 minutes, perfect for busy days when you need a quick yet nutritious meal.
Ingredients and substitutions
I love using King Oyster Mushroom as a meat substitute, as it has a meaty, chewy texture that doesn't shrink when being cooked. I like to score the king oyster mushroom slices, as this enhances the texture and mouth-feel of the dish while helping it absorb the sauce more. If you cannot access these King Oyster Mushroom, feel free to use other types of mushrooms such as cremini mushroom or oyster mushroom.
The sauce of the dish is the star of this dish! It is a simple, yet delicious way to enhance the taste of the mushroom: savoury, spicy and peppery. The ingredients of the sauce are also pantry-friendly and accessible, and you probably had all the ingredients at home:
- Soy sauce
- Vegetarian oyster sauce (also known as mushroom stirfry sauce)
- Black pepper
- Sugar
- Water
- Garlic and chilli for aromatics
