Saving the oceans and still enjoying an all time favorite classic recipe? This Vegan Scallops with Kale Salad recipe is using king oyster mushrooms, instead of harming the marine ecosystem. The taste and texture are quite similar and the best part it is that is 100% cruelty free. Scallops are molluscs, which classifies them as animals and are not vegan.
This recipe uses king oyster mushrooms as an alternative to marine meat. They are definitely the winner for the texture and shape. Also they don’t have a particularly taste and they act as a sponge. That’s why this recipe requires some time to marinate. They will get the fishy taste from the nori sheet, the more they marinate. Cooked in vegan butter and garlic and served with some kale salad, this recipe will for sure not disappoint.
