Instructions
 

Meaty musrooms:

  • Rehydrate dried shiitake mushrooms soaking them in cold water overnight in the fridge.
  • Next day, wipe them clean and cut off tough stems. Slice the mushrooms.
  • Add cacao butter (or oil) to a hot pan, when it starts foaming, add mushrooms.
  • Saute the mushrooms, often stirring, for about 2 minutes. To achieve a perfect meaty texture, give mushrooms a squish using another smaller-sized pan.
  • Sprinkle the mushrooms with spices. Keep cooking them, stirring, until they are tender.

Noodles:

  • Soak rice noodles in clean warm water for 10-15 minutes. Drain, then add sesame oil and salt to prevent noodles from sticking to each other.

Salad:

  • Shred all the vegetables apart from seaweed using a hand grater.
  • Rehydrate seaweed by putting it in a bowl with water for 15 minutes. Drain and cut in smaller pieces.
  • To a large bowl, add cooked noodles, followed by all the vegetables, meaty mushrooms, sprouts and dried shallots.

Dressing:

  • To a small glass jar, add all the ingredinets. Shake well and then pour into the salad.
  • Mix salad well and serve immediately.
