Share:

As Fall is settling in and the weather starts to finally cool off, soup is the first thing on the menu. This is our wicked take on a cold-weather classic: chick’n noodle soup.

Ingredients

for the mushroom chick’n
  • 1 t oil
  • 16 oz king oyster mushrooms, caps removed
  • poultry seasoning, to taste
  • salt, to taste
for the broth for the mirepoix
  • 1 t oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 carrot, diced
  • 2 ribs of celery, diced
  • pinch of salt
to finish
  • 4-6 servings of your favorite type of noodle, prepared according to package instructions
  • crusty bread + vegan butter

Instructions

to make the mushroom chick’n

  1. First, julienne or slice your shrooms into really thin slices.
  2. Preheat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat, then add the teaspoon of oil. Fill pan with mushroom shreds, dust the top with poultry seasoning, and cover with a second cast-iron skillet of the same size to press.
  3. After a few minutes, the shreds will release their liquid. Keep checking as it presses until the liquid is almost cooked off.
  4. Remove the top skillet, and give the shreds a stir. You’ll see the caramelized edges start to form.
  5. Mix the shreds well, add another dusting of poultry seasoning and a pinch of salt, then put the skillet back on to press again for a few more minutes.
  6. When the shreds are cooked through + meaty-looking, with caramelized edges, remove from the skillet and set aside.

The mushroom featured in this dish is none other than the mighty king oyster. These fun guys have a perfect meaty texture and neutral flavor that works perfectly with poultry seasoning to achieve a flavor-packed,  shredded vegan pulled chick’n.

We’ll be shredding the stalk + stem into our meaty shreds. Cut the cap of the mushrooms off the stalk, and be sure to use them for another dish, toss them in a salad, veg bowl, or a tofu scramble.

After the stalks are shredded the cast-iron skillet pressing begins. These are pressed and seared to become the perfect pulled chick’n for this soup.

Pressing the shreds give them the nice, caramelized crispy bits around the edges that really concentrates flavor and makes all the difference in texture.
