My love for super-duper whopper sandwiches started at a very young age. Almost every day, before school, my Father would prepare the most epic sandwiches. They were always packed with layer after layer of goodness, always tasted incredible, and as children, we would simply love his sandwiches. So I thought it was about time I added one to the blog. And today it’s this ultimate vegan pulled mushroom burger!
It has all the characteristics that a super-duper whopper sandwich has, the layers, the flavors, plus it’s a quick fix, making it perfect for lunch, dinner or any busy day.
This easy, hassle-free vegan burger, which takes just minutes to prepare, is made up of shredded king oyster mushrooms fried with various pastes, spices, herbs and more.
And if you’re wondering where I got the genius idea to shred king oyster mushrooms it didn’t just miraculously come to me in a dream, it’s thanks to a mouthwatering BOSH video I saw a while back. Let’s just say from now on, I always make sure to stock up on them when possible.
