This 10-Minute Vegan Pulled Pork Sandwich Is Pure Mushroom Magic

Miyoko Schinner, a pioneering vegan chef and founder of Miyoko’s Creamery, has created a quick and delicious vegan pulled “pork” sandwich made entirely from mushrooms in just 10 minutes. Shredded king trumpet mushrooms mimic the texture of pulled pork, offering a satisfying bite and deep umami flavor. The mushrooms are browned in a smoky-sweet marinade made with soy sauce, olive oil, maple syrup, and smoked paprika, creating a juicy and meaty plant-based filling.

Schinner assembles the sandwich with homemade cabbage kimchi, eggplant pickle, and her own vegan cheese blend. The versatile mushroom pulled “pork” can be used in various dishes, such as tacos, burritos, rice bowls, or scrambled with tofu for breakfast. With just a few ingredients and a fork, Schinner has shown that you don’t need meat or a smoker to enjoy the savory essence of pulled pork, making this mushroom recipe a flavorful and crave-worthy alternative.
