Cooking tips

To achieve a savory depth comparable to meat pâté, you must completely evaporate the mushroom moisture and sauté until a golden, flavorful fond develops on the bottom of the pan.
Brewed soy sauce is an essential ingredient that adds a rich umami depth that salt alone cannot provide.
Forming a seal on top with coconut butter or oil allows it to stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to about 7 days.
