  • 8 ounces pink oyster mushrooms cleaned and torn into bite-size pieces
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic grated
  • 1 tbsp ginger grated

For the Vegetables...

  • 1/2 tsp salt

For the Sriracha Mayo...

  • Sriracha to taste

For the Sandwich...

  • 2 small baguettes
  • 1/2 bunch cilantro
  • 2-4 lime wedges

Instructions

  • Mix together soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, sesame oil, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger until well combined. Add pink oyster mushrooms and marinate for 30 minutes.
  • While mushrooms are marinating, mix together 1/4 cup of rice wine vinegar and 2 tablespoons of sugar, and salt until salt and sugar dissolve. Add carrots and cucumber and allow the mixture to set for at least 15 minutes.
  • Mix together the desired amount of Sriracha into vegan mayonaise.
  • Heat skillet over medium heat and add a splash of oil. Add the mushrooms, reserving the marinade. Sauté the mushrooms for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are cooked through and slightly caramelized. Pour in the reserved marinade and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
  • To assemble the sandwich, slice the mini baguettes or French rolls horizontally, leaving one side intact. Spread a generous amount of Sriracha mayo on both sides of the bread. Arrange a layer of pickled vegetables on the bottom half of the bread. Top with mushrooms and garnish with cilantro sprigs. Serve with lime wedges.
