Vegan Lobster Roll

This Vegan Lobster Roll features succulent, plant-based 'lobster' made from king oyster mushrooms, seasoned perfectly to mimic the flavor and texture of seafood. Served in a soft, toasted bun and topped with a zesty vegan mayo, this dish is a delightful twist on a classic.

Ingredients

• King oyster mushrooms - 200 grams
• Nori seaweed - 1 sheet
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Old Bay seasoning - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Vegan mayonnaise - 4 tablespoons

Steps

1. Preheat a skillet over medium heat.

3. In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
4. Add the sliced mushrooms to the bowl and toss until they are fully coated with the marinade. Let them sit for 10 minutes.
5. Place the marinated mushrooms in the heated skillet and sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and tender.
