Because of their tough cell walls, raw mushrooms are difficult to digest. This makes it tricky for your body to extract their nutrients. Cooking them breaks down their cell walls and allows your body to absorb their nutrition.

Mushrooms are one of the only plant-based sources of Vitamin D but there is a trick to it. Mushrooms are a bit like us and need to convert ergosterol into a usable form of Vitamin D. So before cooking leave them out in the sun for at least 15 mins. Slice them up first for maximum sun exposure!

Some mushrooms can glow in the dark because of an enzyme called "luciferase". They convert organic compounds into bioluminescent ones, making them an excellent accessory for your next party.

Method

Prepare the coleslaw: Simply mix all the ingredients together and let it sit while you prepare the mushrooms.

Step 1

Time to prep your mushrooms: With a fork, shred the mushrooms until they resemble pulled pork. Place your mushrooms so that you can see their gills, then place your fork on the stem and pull downwards. Repeat this process until you only have strips and no whole mushrooms left. 

Step 2

Prepare the sauce: Mix together equal amounts of Ketchup, soy sauce, tomato paste, Sriracha, and agave (or a sweetener of your choice). Add some paprika and garlic powder to your liking and mix again.

Step 3

Next, fry your mushrooms in a pan with some oil or butter on medium- to high heat until all the water has evaporated. Then add all the sauces, fry for another minute or two, and you're done!


Step 4 

All that's left to do is assemble! We recommend the following order: First mushrooms, then cheese, then coleslaw (+ a little extra ketchup and mayo on your bottom bun). 

Step 5

Enjoy!
