Vegan Maple Glazed Kíng Oyster Mushroom "Scallops"

Have you heard of Kíng Oyster Mushrooms?  íf you frequent Pínterest for mushroom recípes, chances are you have. When í saw the mushrooms beíng used to make “scallops”, naturally í had to gíve them a try. My fríends, let me tell you that these Vegan Maple Glazed Kíng Oyster Mushroom “Scallops” díd not dísappoínt!
í created a maple glaze to caramelíze the scallops and served over a wíld ríce blend wíth broccolí florets.  íf you enjoy a bít more spíce, just add red pepper flakes or even hot sauce or sríracha to the glaze.

So here ís what they look líke and í must admít, they are not super easy to fínd but my local Safeway store carríes them. Generally sold 4 to a bag for about $4.99 USD.  í slíced them ínto about 1″ píeces. What struck me wíth thís recípe, was how dífferent they tasted than regular button mushrooms and/or portobello mushrooms.  The texture ís amazíng, so tender and yet, for lack of a better, more appropríate word, “meaty”.

So here ís the fínal product.  í served approxímately two mushrooms per person because the ones í purchased were pretty decently sízed.  í’m already thínkíng of other thíngs to make wíth these mushrooms. Perhaps cut lengthwíse and roasted.  í’ve even seen mushroom “bacon” made wíth Kíng Oysters.  Stay tuned
