Vegan Roast Chicken
One of my fascinations in the kitchen is experimenting with different meat substitutes using plant-based ingredients. I really love king oyster mushroom, because of the meaty, juicy and chewy texture that resembles meat. This recipe is inspired by my Vegan Chicken Teriyaki recipe!
This recipe attempts to create a realistic texture of chicken using meaty oyster mushrooms and crispy tofu skin. I have made some adjustments to the recipe and created a sweet & savory Teriyaki glaze. Serve this with some warm rice and blanched bok choy. The texture of the dish is crispy on the outside, meaty and juicy on the inside, and the flavors would burst in your mouth.
