As a mushroom farmer, I THANK YOU for putting a spotlight on our trade. I grow Lion's Mane mushrooms and they are probably my favorite mushroom to eat.

[@jameskim3915]

I get my psychedelics and microdosing stuff from an online store where I got my own his on Instagram and also on Telegram with the below handle

*Mycopete.*

[@laredawilder2806]

I keep your videos going all day and never get tired of those wonderful creations Thank you for sharing 😊

[@greenisthenewlean]

All these dishes look so good. I never tried Lion’s Mane, but will looking forward to getting my hands on them to I can see what they taste like.

[@aliciastiles7687]

Omg I made the lions tail mushroom recipe and the sauce I didn’t have any cilantro so I used basil and I also use the fish off oh my god it’s so good thank you so much for inspiring me in this way this is one happy woman I’ll be making this more and more and more

[@RTS284]

I could watch this man cook mushrooms all day.

[@naturallynature1559]

Me too

[@Astrobee]

Maitake reminds me of shredded chicken when I cook with it.

[@normawingo5116]

Yum, great looking mushrooms. The best vegan ribs I’ve had are made with young green Jack fruit canned in brine. Just unbeatable.

[@norasand2321]

I really love how much passion you have for cooking and showing us how to make delicious dishes with mushrooms. Always a pleasure to watch you!

[@hannahmitchell87]

Derek. I came here cause I'm not on other social media but wanted to thank you you for the plant chef steaks.... I've cooked them with button mushrooms, new potatoes & red wine & served with a dressed salad of aromatic baby leaf, tomatoes, cucumber, carrot, yellow pepper & heaps of mayo! Doesn't get better than this!!! 🖤🖤🖤

[@DerekSarnoChef]

Hey, Hannah...thanks for stopping by to share your nice comments! So happy that you are enjoying the steaks!

[@sadtiger2022]

I just found you through one of Gaz's videos. I definitely subbed, you have some great recipes! I look forward to trying them out! 😋

[@DerekSarnoChef]

Awesome! Thank you! We love Gaz!!

[@kerilyndillman9778]

Thanks Derek!! Could you do a video on how to grow some good mushrooms? Just a thought. Thanks for making vegan tasty.

[@andrearovenski]

absolutely REMARKABLE recipes! Mushrooms are a game changer that the world is sleeping on!

[@-beee-]

Wow, that herby green sauce and the lion’s mane looked SO good 🤩✨

[@DerekSarnoChef]

Thank you 😋

[@suginami123]

Excellent. I’m going to try this.

[@katharinavonzitzewitz826]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE mushrooms- they such amazing " beings"- what a jet another awesome design from / in nature...how they grow,communicate kind of ( in the wild) interact...and what an amazing foodsource! Thank you for your creative recipes- you do them right.😊

[@NancyBruning]

I grow my own Lion's Mane using a grow kit from North Spore. In my NYC apartment!

[@DerekSarnoChef]

Nice! Time to get cooking!!

[@tish5598]

Cooking for one, I use a medium frying pan on top of the stove. Once they start cooking I press them with a disc type potato masher. Repeat periodically until no liquid comes out. Flip and the bottom side is golden brown. Second side is faster since most of the liquid is gone. Easy to make the rest of the meal. Just cooktop cooking.

[@ritabutler1951]

Nice tip. I cook for myself as well.

[@HD-mg9ru]

Totally love your channel ❤ I live in California and I've searched all over for phenomenal mushrooms like yours. No luck yet.. Yours are absolutely amazing!!! Thank you for all you do... 🙏

[@DerekSarnoChef]

I found them at LA farmers and Asian markets in CA

[@tomhanks4532]

If you're near a Whole Foods I think they often have clusters and maitake. Not my favorite store in the world, but it might be the easiest way to source them initially depending on where you live.

[@HD-mg9ru]

@@DerekSarnoChef Thank you!

[@suzanneraney2667]

I live in Northern California, I have found some of the mushrooms at Whole Foods, Sprouts Market and Food Co-ops as well as Farmer's Market. They are hard to find around here, but getting easier.

[@HD-mg9ru]

@@suzanneraney2667 I found a small supply at VONS Market. None at my local Wholefoods. They taste amazing!!!❤

[@amirahsadre4570]

Ha ha, I wish you could be feeding me too. I’m not a vegan yet but working on it. You may say I am vegan in training . I have been a pescatarian for over twenty years. Your videos make me want to eat more plant based. I generally eat fruits and vegetables in their original form or smoothies. Im learning to cook more vegetarian and vegan now. As I miss Persian and Mexican foods, when I watch your cooking, I get ideas on how to make these food plant based. Ps I bought your cookbook.❤

[@BubahsSlowJams]

You showed me how to eat mushrooms and make them taste magnificent! Thank you

[@tomhanks4532]

Looks incredible! Hope some of the wicked sauces make it to the states eventually. When I was living in the Bay Area was able to get some of your frozen prepared meals from Sprouts and they were so good! (Especially loved the Panang curry with tofu) Keep up the good work! ✊

[@DerekSarnoChef]

Mr. Hanx! Our sauces are now available in the US at the Kroger family of stores and on Amazon! Check this out! (even comes in a variety pack) www.amazon.com/stores/page/92BAFC7D-E5F8-4F26-8B10-196F17F990D7?ingress=0&visitId=2ae8e17e-f000-402f-8617-a159c37d15f5

[@mandysadowski9904]

I love all your mushroom videos ❤

[@tahirahabubakr3751]

As a vegan chef, I am always looking for new recipes and these looks amazing and I will certainly try each one. Looking forward to the experience.

[@maryannmarshall6294]

Brilliant! 👏👏👏

[@lindsaytoussaint]

I’ve always loved mushrooms even since I was a kid - and I still get excited cooking with different mushrooms. I still haven’t tried cooking with lions mane but I noticed my fave mushroom farm sells them at the local farmers market! And yes more growers need to experiment with all different types of mushrooms! we have a great dish in Haitian culture called diri djondjon and it’s one of my fave mushroom dishes - but finding that mushroom is like making a wish LOL. And when you do find it, it’s either wildly expensive or someone brought it back from Haiti for a friend of a friend of a friend 😂

[@newtagwhodis4535]

Such great recipes! Can’t wait to try these out thank you so much for the inspiration as I move away from meats.

[@texting7856]

They look so good Bet they taste awesome too. thanks for sharing this!

[@laurar9748]

Rewatching this one. I just love the action of wiping the bottom of that top pan. Makes me feel so authentic, when I do it. 😏 Pressed a maitake, and tasted the sweetness you always speak of. They have become one of my favorite mushrooms. I also love enoki. Love the chew on those in my ramen. Good stuff here! ❤

[@brittanierussell7438]

Check out Windy City mushrooms! Local growers in Chicago that have Lions Mane!

[@DerekSarnoChef]

Will do whenever i am in town! Thanks for subscribing and supporting.

[@christinawhisler]

I have some cast iron pans and I don't use them because I don't know how to wash them. Can you do a video on that subject please?

[@jacquelineknauff4835]

I NEED MORE MUSHROOMS

[@basfinnis]

Looks great. I’ve been getting some of your stuff from Tesco. Really good dishes 😋

[@mjgeib]

[@parkerdinhwilliams15]

Love your recipes. Cant wait to make this.

Thanks, Parker!! Let us know how it turns out!

[@jandegrand6189]

Looks delicious! If you know someone who wants to grow fungi in Vancouver, Washington, I have the space.

[@darcy6871]

Hi Derek, great video thanks for sharing these recipes, I actually got interested in mushroom growing after buying your cookbook in March of 2022, now I grow many of these gourmet mushrooms, (that I could not easily find in my local grocers in Alberta), in my home and enjoy experimenting all these great meals after watching this channel. Subscribed!

[@antoniowinchester860]

Looks great

[@dogbreath9876]

this level of cooking is over my head but if you tell me where u live... everyone watching this video wants to taste what you just made.

[@Skoben2000]

The way you cut them reminds me of tankatsu. Maybe you could even bread the mushrooms, deep fry them and then when you cut them like you are cutting them, you could call them a Mushroom tankatsu. You'd have to fry them separately and then pour the sauce over them I guess.

[@DerekSarnoChef]

It's great too. We've done that on other videos. Thanks for watching.

[@ninam3255]

👏👏👏 thank your for the fabulous recipes and video tutorial. I wish I could source different mushroom species. I can purchase (thanks to your input) Finest Oyster Mushroom Cluster in Tesco (UK) but they don’t stock the King Oyster Mushrooms anymore 😕 I keep checking… REQUEST - would love you to write a 2nd Wicked Cookbook. Stay safe, happy and well….

I’m all in!

[@DerekSarnoChef]

Yes!

[@ritabutler1951]

As I watched this I just cooked off some lion’s mane. Just a small bit that I picked up at TJ’s. I will definitely be looking for some nice big shrooms like shown here. When trying new to me foods, I remind myself that plants generally never have those grizzly nasty bits that animal products have. 16🎉 years vegan and still looking for new foods to try.

[@michaelwitte5544]

Please do a video on how to do the tong castanets.

[@mantisjdg]

Mushrooms are the way.

[@SharonHerring]

I LOVE it ALL besides the added sugar. Maybe I am wrong , but try not to have added sugar, if at all, in any of my dishes. Besides that THANK YOU so much for some amazing ideas and ways to perfectly cook some of my favorite mushrooms!

[@oliviajones9171]

Looks delicious 😋

[@jenniferfrederick2456]

Is this available on your website? I pick mushrooms in the wild and I have lions mane, chicken of the woods along with oysters I found yesterday. This looks amazing!

[@tinyjungle_]

Question and a special request. Can I bulk cook these mushroom steaks and freeze them? Plus I would love to see a cast-iron care video since you are the master. I have cast-iron but I'm unsure if I've seasoned them correctly and unsure how to properly clean them. Would love your take on the matter. Thanks for all you do and I've tried several of your recipes and all have been delicious.

[@wildaboutcooking2594]

Can you bring lion’s mane and maitake mushrooms into Tesco like you did with king oysters? It would be great, I cant get these anywhere around where I live. 😉

[@tobykeith4498]

👆👆 freshly harvested available. Delivery in a few days

[@laureneross]

Can this gravy be frozen… trying to go to a thanksgiving dinner and I have to bring some awesome food for me to eat :)

[@danerdos]

Hey there, I love your mushroom recipes ! I would like to find a way to use white bell mushroom instead (they are dead cheap and taste good)... isn't there a way to "glue" the loose pieces together to give it more of a meaty vibe (by pressing ?).

[@peacemakerpamela]

This looks delicious. I would use something other than sugar. You can puree a natural fruit or sweet beets so this remains a healthy dish.

[@DerekSarnoChef]

You sure can. Let me know how it goes.

[@amirahsadre4570]

Thank you from San Diego. You introduced me to lion mane mushroom. I made your steak w them, it looked great but I sensed a little bitter. What made that? Is it the mushroom? Or red wine? Or beet powder? I haven’t figured that out yet. I follows your recipe. It is very expensive here. A small piece at Sprouts is $5.99. So I plan to only make it when I’m craving meat or kabob.

[@Lasith90210]

Hi Derek, been a big fan of your work for sometime now, and thank you for all your hard work. I just have a quick question: I noticed that you don’t add any flavours such as vegetable stocks, plant based chicken, beef flavours to flavour your mushrooms before you cook them. Is there any reasons for this or is it a technique that you haven’t tried yet?

[@twothirdsanexplosive]

You mean coconut water, not milk right? My mom uses coconut water to make vegan fish sauce for me. Works great! For those in New England, Mycoterra Farms in Massachusetts grows a couple types of oyster mushrooms, lion's mane, and other varieties that grow easily on blocks. You can buy big block grow kits for the home too. I've been making BBQ oyster mushrooms a bunch lately.

[@DerekSarnoChef]

Coconut Vinegar.

[@twothirdsanexplosive]

@@DerekSarnoChef ah ok, sounded like milk when I watched. Will have to find coconut vinegar. Thanks!

[@chrisconte6948]

What would you do with portobello mushrooms? Would you take out the gills?? After all they are the most popular mushrooms available in US Pleased let us know thanks

[@gshsingt8856]

You are fun-guy to watch

[@DerekSarnoChef]

You did it. 🏆

[@lyddabenedict476]

They all look delicious, is there a way to enjoy these recipes oil free?

[@DerekSarnoChef]

Hey Lydda...Derek did an Oil vs. No-Oil challenge with the pressed mushroom steaks. It definitely works without oil, just takes a slightly different technique. Check it out here! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXalpY2hn9hji7s

[@BevLefever]

I loved this video! What can you use if you don’t have cast iron pans, I have non stick and none are the same size. I want to try these. Any advise is appreciated.

Fantastic always make vegan food look delicious, a bit concern about white sugar, would coconut sugar or Lucama be ok to use?

[@keithkeller6155]

Just harvested some lions mane will make some steaks this afternoon. Can I use grass fed butter as the browning and pressing oil?

[@sherrijones3568]

I'm curious to know your preferred brand, or type, of cast iron skillets. Do you go for the standard Lodge, or the higher end, traditional, very smooth Smithey, Lancaster, etc?

[@DerekSarnoChef]

Currently we use Lodge but we're open to trying others.

[@pamlicht1824]

Question Please: I am not a Shure fan of sauces so can I just fry and dry rub these mushrooms. Herbs and seasoning? I love these “new to me” types of mushrooms! Thank you ‼️

I would call these cutlets, mushroom cutlets they are.

[@dilsaliosatos8797]

I like Masurons the best

[@TokkiStar]

I think something a lot of these types of food KZbinrs lack is transparency and honesty. So with Oyster mushrooms, there's a reason why you see people making them in fried chicken form or with tons of sauce. Like jackfruit, it's very nasty in its natural state.
