I love me some good bowls! bowl feel so nourishing and really hearty! And this teriyaki bowl is one of my favourites yet! I have a deep love for anything asian inspired and this dish ticks all the boxes!
Using a basmati based topped with a crunchy sour salad and topped with sticky sweet and sour mushroom meat! the perfect midweek meal! So lets get to it.
The mean ingredient of this dish. is king oyster mushrooms! This mushroom when shredded mimik meats texture so well and they really absorb any. flavour or marinade you soak them into! Making them a perfect healthy meat and process free substitute.
If you cant find oyster mushroom on your area you can substitute this with green jackfruit or any other type of mushroom you have at hand. (If you are using portobello or any similar type of mushroom don't shred it just give it a bit of a chop!)
I love everything with mint and coriander! It really makes any recipe feel fresh and full of flavour. I made a salad bae to go under the teriyaki meat to bring that crunch and freshness into the dish but you can enjoy this simply with rice if you are short in time and its equally delicious!
I recommend using basmati rice as this goes perfectly with the dish, but you can also substitute this with any type of white rice you have at hand.
The sweet and salty combo of the teriyaki meat is the perfect combo with the sourness of the salad and it really bring this dish together! Plus it makes this recipe look so beautiful when served! it is a real show stopper for any guest you have!
