Sticky Hoisin "Duck" Sandwich

Directions

  1. 1Fry the seitan and oyster mushrooms in a pan with a little oil on high heat until crisp at the edges.
  2. 2Add soy sauce, maple syrup, Chinese five spice, rice wine vinegar, fresh grated ginger, garlic paste, and a splash of water to the pan to create a sticky hoisin glaze.
  3. 3Let the glaze bubble down until it's glossy and coats the seitan and mushrooms.
  4. 4In a separate bowl, combine vegan mayo, white miso paste, and a squeeze of lemon juice, then stir until smooth and tangy to make the miso-mayo.
  5. 5Spread miso-mayo on a toasted bread slice.
  6. 6Layer the sticky hoisin "duck" (seitan and mushrooms) over the miso-mayo.
  7. 7Add ribbons of cucumber and a handful of spring onion on top of the "duck" mixture.
  8. 8Place the top piece of bread and press the sandwich, if desired.
