Now, there’s no way going back to cruel ways when I could have the same flavor and texture from using mushroom.
When I spotted king oyster mushrooms in the fridge, I knew I could whip up something good for dinner. For advice, I asked my mom how she cooks Pusit, (squid in Tagalog but also known as squid stew). I adopted the same technique with my own twist.
The recipe is incredibly simple and delicious. Ready in 15 minutes!
