Vegan Bao Bun Filling

We love to use oyster mushrooms for our vegan Bar Bun Filling for this recipe and when serving this in a warm Bao Bun, we love to top off with some fresh coriander, shallots, red hot chili pepper, cucumber and toasted sesame seeds! This recipe is definitely a WINNER! It only takes 15 minutes to make and you can also eat this on other bread or as a side dish!
