  • 6 cups oyster mushrooms 

  • 2 tbs Squeaky Gate extra virgin olive oil 

  • 2 tbs white miso paste 

  • 2 tbs mirin 

  • 2 ½ tbs maple syrup, divided 

  • 2 tsp Coles Asia sesame oil 

  • 1 tbs tahini paste 

  • 1 tbs white & black sesame seeds to garnish 

  • 1/3 cup coriander sprigs (in iced water) 

Spicy Pickled Carrots

  • 2 large carrots, sliced into noodles with a toothed peeler 

  • 1 long red chilli, sliced  

  • 1 tbs ginger, julienne 

  • ½ cup, plus 1 tbs rice wine vinegar 

  • 1 tbs gochujang paste

Method

  • Pre-heat the oven to 200 degrees (C). Spread the cauliflower onto a large flat tray. Drizzle with the oil, a pinch of salt and roast the cauliflower for 10 minutes. Meanwhile whisk the miso, mirin, 1 tbs of maple and sesame oil in a bowl.  Take the tray out of the oven and add the mushrooms and drizzle with the miso mixture. Roast for a further 20 minutes, or until the mushrooms and cauliflower are cooked through and catching in places. Set aside at room temperature. 

  • Place the carrot noodles, chilli and ginger into a bowl and sprinkle with a little sea salt. Heat ½ cup of vinegar, 1 tbs of maple syrup, gochujang and 1/3 cup water in a small pot over a medium heat. Bring up to a simmer then pour over the carrots. Toss well to coat then set aside for 15 minutes to quickly pickle. 

  • Whisk the tahini, 1 tbs vinegar, ½ tbs maple syrup and a dash of water in a bowl until smooth and creamy.

  • To serve, place the cauliflower and mushrooms onto a serving plate. Scatter over some of the spicy carrots and drizzle with a little tahini. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and coriander stems. Serve with extra spicy carrots on the side.
