So happy you love the recipe so much Vince 🙂

We're so happy you like it!

We're glad to hear you were pleased. Intensity might mean different things, but if too spicy you could omit the hot sauce. Perhaps it was too salty, which could be due to the soy sauce. A low sodium version might be best for your tastes in this recipe.

Wonderful! We're so happy you enjoyed this recipe and we appreciate you sharing your tweaks.

I can’t wait to try more of your recipes!!

Thank you!

Yum!!

One can never have too much ginger hey Hector?

Came to ask the same! Avoiding oil as much as possible and wondering how they would turn out baked in the oven. Guess we’ll have to try!

Finally got around to making this, and it was soooo close to perfection but was just a little too salty/intense flavor for us. I think next time I'll try coconut aminos or something.

I used half the Sriracha and my extremely spice sensitive family deemed it "too spicy" *eyeroll*

Loved the chewy crispiness, and imo very comparable to the "real thing." Thanks!

So happy you enjoyed!!

Hector

I know I'm not Sam but I'm in the same boat as you (in Peru) - I made it with Hongos Ostra and they turned out great

So happy you're enjoying all my content Laura!! 🙂

Greetings from Ecuador! I have a question, can I use fresh Portobellos or ostras instead of Shiitake? It is kind of difficult to find them here.. And even worst in a middle of a quarentine

Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your recipes and humor, I'm so glad I stumbled across your Instagram a while ago. I am mostly plant based, and cook 100% vegan at home, and I have my little collection of favorite recipe makers I follow and you're one of the top! What I like about your recipes that sets you apart imo is how widely appealing they are to most people, the flavors are comfortable and familiar. So as a mom of three picky kids and husband who mostly humors my way of eating, I can usually count on you to deliver recipes that they will enjoy as well.

Also, I think it's totally ok to drool over animal based recipes lol. I mean, I think most people who go vegan do so primarily for ethical or health reasons, not necessarily because they don't think meat and cheese tastes good, at least in the beginning .

Finally, have you considered putting your new comment field at the top of the comments? It makes it easier to leave a comment without having to scroll all the way to the end, especially in fabulous recipes like yours that generate lots of comments

Hey Deb Try coconut aminos taste just like soy sauce but not salty like that. Give it a try so much better for you too.

Glad you enjoyed!

They will work, but the dried ones have a very chewy texture which is ideal. Enjoy!

Hi Chriselda! Generally, mushrooms and fried food aren't considered freezer friendly. So I wouldn't recommend freezing this recipe. I will consider adding those tags. I do try to mention when things freeze well in the recipes that do.
