3 Ways Cook King Oyster Mushrooms

[@edieweiss5797]

I bought some King Oysters today for the first time. I ran into them at Trader Joe's. Since I'm wild about mushrooms, I couldn't resist these beautiful ones. Cooking tonight, I looked at them and realized I needed to do something special with them, but had no idea... So I went on line and found you. What a find!! I can't wait to get Wicked! Thank you so much for inspiring me. I gave up meat and poultry more than 50 years ago, & don't ever feel the need to replace it. I do love fish, though and I will make your mushroom scallops tonight. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

[@singleveganMD]

I'm in the same boat. Just want to "play with my food" and learn new ways to cook interesting things. I love mushrooms and look forward to making a taco filling with my king mushrooms.

[@incognitoatunknown2702]

I eat King Oyster mushrooms regularly as baked "chicken" shreds in vegan ceasar salad. Delicious. Mushrooms have become a huge part of my regular diet and I credit you guys for a lot of that. So healthy and good for you and so tasty.

[@SBarraza]

Would love to know your recipe!

[@ArnettC]

Can you share your recipe

[@dominiquelindsey6684]

I have just started eating them and make the shreds. I might not be shredding them small enough, because it’s a bit tough or chewy. Do you know how to make them more tender?

[@cher-amirose7109]

Thank you so much for supporting the production of mushrooms in place of so many various meat, poultry, and marine life products. Besides the invaluable nutritional value of mushrooms.

[@SingingSealRiana]

Yeah, eating more mushrooms is great no matter what. Compleatly it will not replace animal product, for the nutritional values are very different but they can clearly help reduce the need to eat meat every singel day, several times, for that is neither healthy not ecological substainable. I need meat and fish for things like Omega 3, protein, zinc, iron and things like that, but honestly, themneeded amouts are not that big if you plane and chose wisely and every other dish profits just so much from mushrooms. I am only so dependend on meat and dish, for I can not have dairy or eggs, struggle with most grains, nuts and legumes, have to be very very cautious with soy and can not tolerante gluten at all . . . . Otherwise I would totaly rock beeing vegan and advocate to all to overthink their consumption, how much they realy need and what eco sind they need and which they can avoid.

[@SingingSealRiana]

@hoes mad way to expensiv and they also only work with data I can look into just the same

[@mmmmmmmm1942]

I will never stop eating animals

[@dsclassic6568]

All mushrooms are extremely nutritious and health beneficial in their own specific ways. Do some research, you meat head 😂

[@dsclassic6568]

Omega 3 is in many different nuts and seeds. Iron is found in dark greens like spinach and also in legumes, pumpkin seeds and quinoa. Zinc is found in beans, nuts and grains. Protein is found in basically everything, including mushrooms. But you can find high sources of protein in almonds, oats, cottage cheese, greek yogurt, and broccoli. Plant protein powder is also available.

[@rebelvgan4579]

I made them for the first time today, shredded, marinated in herbs and spices, then in the oven, and finally added to some brown rice and peas. Pretty tasty!
