Ingredients:
Sesame & Soy Dressing or Chilli, Black Garlic & Soy Sauce
Extra Virgin Sesame Seed Oil
260g King Oyster Mushrooms
2/3 Cucumber
10 Chinese style pancakes
1 large spring onion
Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 180C fan and line a baking sheet with baking parchment.
2. Wipe your mushrooms clean with damp kitchen roll.
3. Using two forks, shred the mushrooms into pieces (like the shredded duck in a Chinese restaurant).
4. On the baking sheet, toss the mushrooms with sesame oil to coat them. Then spread them out evenly on the baking sheet.
5. Put the baking sheet on the top shelf of the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. The mushrooms are cooked right when they’re crispy at the edges. Put them in a bowl to serve.
6. Meanwhile, chop the cucumber into thin Matchstix and put on a small plate to serve.
7. Slice the spring onion and put in a small bowl to serve.
8. Put some Sesame & Soy Dressing or Chilli, Black Garlic & Soy Sauce in a bowl and heat it for about 30 seconds in the microwave. Stir it to recombine the oil that might separate out. Serve in the bowl.
9. Warm the pancakes according to the instructions on the packet. Serve on a plate.
10. Serve all the components separately for people to assemble and wrap their own pancakes.
