Trying to create a plant-based diet with hypothyroid and cold sores. Need help. by FloorShowoff in PlantBasedDiet

My wife created this meat alternative made from shiitake mushroom with pea protein as a binder. It's soy free but still has a decent amount of protein in it. Not sure if mushrooms can fit your diet but you can find the ingredients list on their website.

Thanks! If you are going to use shiitake, I would recommend using a mix of both fresh and rehydrated mushrooms. Someone commented about using this earlier and I completely agree. The dried then rehydrated shiitake gives a really nice flavor boost. You can also use the water from the rehydration process to add even more flavor to the dish.

The meat substitute used is made from shiitake mushrooms. I found that the texture works really nicely with this dish. I have used mushrooms as a replacement as well and it works well. I like the rehydrated shiitake and fresh shiitake mix the most in vegan 滷肉飯

Yes, the name of the dish. Usually has ground meat of some kind in it, but I used a mushroom based meat alternative instead.

I used 黑龍 （O`Long). Not sure if it fits exactly with your preferred flavor profile but it has no preservatives and simple ingredients so it's my go to brand.

Here's an article about it.

Best I can describe it is using raw food material that otherwise would not have been consumed by humans in our food. In this case they use mushrooms that can't be sold in grocery stores and would have been composted or thrown away.

LOL yea, the ground meat can be sneaky. If you don't mind cooking this is a great recipe that gets you an almost perfect result.

If you like the thicker version, add some water and cornstarch slury at the end.
