Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7
Add your Fable pulled mushrooms to an oven-proof dish with a drizzle of vegetable oil and put the dish in the oven for an initial 20 min
Cut your potatoes (skins on) into fries
Add the fries to a baking tray (or two!) with a drizzle of vegetable oil and a pinch of salt and pepper
Give everything a good mix up and put the tray[s] in the oven for 20-25 min or until golden and crisp
Meanwhile, add your mooli slaw mix and rice vinegar to a large bowl with a pinch of salt and 1 tsp [1 1/2 tsp] [2 tsp] sugar
Give everything a good mix up and set aside – this is your quick-pickled mooli slaw
Peel and grate your garlic
Combine the grated garlic, five-spice mix, hoisin sauce, agave and soy sauce in a bowl
Add 125ml [175ml] [200ml] cold water and a drizzle of vegetable oil and stir everything together – this is your char siu-style sauce
Combine your sriracha (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and mayo in a small bowl – this is your sriracha mayo
Pick your coriander leaves from the stalks, discard the stalks
After an initial 20 min, remove the dish with the Fable pulled mushrooms from the oven
Spoon the char siu-style sauce over the mushrooms and return them to the oven for 10-12 min further, basting them twice more until the sauce is thick and the mushrooms are nicely glazed – these are your char siu-style pulled mushrooms
Pierce your bao bun packet[s] with a few holes and microwave for 1-2 min
To build your buns, fill each bao bun with the char siu-styled pulled mushrooms and top with some of the quick-pickled mooli slaw
Drizzle over a little of the sriracha mayo and garnish with half of your crispy onions and coriander leaves (save the rest for later!) – these are your char siu-style mushroom bao buns
Serve the char siu-style mushroom bao buns with the fries and remaining quick-pickled mooli slaw to the side
Load up the fries with any remaining sriracha mayo, crispy onions and coriander leaves
Enjoy!
