Teriyaki Portobello Burgers With Napa Cabbage Slaw Food

ASIAN STYLE VEGGIE BURGER WITH PORTOBELLO BACON AND NAPA SLAW

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Mix together the hoisin and soy sauce in a small bowl. Brush on the veggie burger patties and sear on one side until charred, 3 to 5 minutes. Brush again and flip over, then let cook, brushing frequently, until the patties are charred and shiny with the hoisin glaze, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Place the patties on the buns along with the Portobello Bacon, Napa Slaw and Hot Chinese Mustard Aioli.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Fit a sheet tray with a wire rack.
• Combine the olive oil, soy sauce and rice vinegar in a medium bowl. Add the mushrooms and toss to coat.
• Combine the granulated garlic, brown sugar, paprika and salt on a plate and mix to combine. Press both sides of each mushroom slice in the spice mixture, then place on the prepared sheet tray.
• Bake until dried, crispy and deep golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Toss together the cabbage, carrots, Fresno and green onions in a large bowl.
• Combine the vinegar, soy sauce, granulated sugar and sesame oil in a small bowl and stir until the sugar dissolves, then pour over the cabbage mixture. Toss until the slaw is coated, then let sit at room temperature to let the flavors meld, 30 minutes.
• Whisk the mustard and boiling water together in a bowl, then let cool completely. Mix with the mayo and garlic and season to taste.

• Put mushroom caps and marinade in a large sealable plastic bag, arranging caps in one layer, and seal bag, pressing out excess air. Marinate mushrooms at room temperature, turning bag over several times, 1 hour.
• Make slaw:
• In a bowl whisk together mayonnaise, vinegar, oil, and honey and add cabbage, carrot, and scallions. Toss vegetables well to coat and season with salt and pepper.
• Preheat broiler.
• Drain mushrooms and arrange, stemmed sides up, on lightly oiled rack of a broiler pan. Broil mushrooms 2 inches from heat and turn over. Brush mushrooms lightly with oil and broil 3 minutes, or until tender. Transfer mushrooms with a slotted spatula to hamburger bun bottoms. Top mushrooms with slaw and bun tops.
