When you’ve had a hard week at work, sometimes you just need a takeaway. Special fried rice is the stuff dreams are made of so we decided to smash out our own version! The flavours and textures are legit - proper vegan takeaway vibes. We’ve used our pal Derek Sarno’s mushroom pulling technique for the chicken - go give him a follow, he’s a vegan wizard. Don’t worry if you can’t find King Oysters Mushrooms - just get some Portobello’s, cut them into strips and roast them as the recipe specifies. This is such a tasty idea for a plant-based dinner or to have as a side dish as part of an asian feast.
