Marys Test Kitchen | The MOST UNDERRATED SEASONING you NEED in your plant-based pantry | Mary's Test Kitchen @marystestkitchen | Uploaded March 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Hi friends! This umami seasoning is just about the most underrated ingredient in the vegan/vegetarian's flavor arsenal. Dare I say, it's even better than nutritional yeast. It's 100% natural, easy to make, and you're going to want it on everything you're cooking! More details below.
If you didn't guess from the title, it's mushroom powder. But not just from any mushroom; oyster mushrooms!
When oyster mushrooms are dried, their savory flavor is concentrated and enhanced. It's not the same as just cooking down mushrooms. Oyster mushroom powder becomes its own thing. It's like a natural form of MSG or Accent, but with a greater depth of flavour. You don't need a lot to add a lot of depth! However, it's salt-free so if you aren't living a salt-free lifestyle (like most of us) make sure you pair your mushroom powder with a bit as well.
In case you were wondering, I used a half pound of fresh oyster mushrooms. After drying and blending them into powder, they became a packed 1/3 cup (28 grams) of homemade oyster mushroom powder.
⚠IMPORTANT⚠ There is some risk when eating RAW Oyster Mushrooms. I dehydrated mine at a very low temperature and use it in my cooking. If you are adding it to foods which will not be cooked further (like cold salads or popped popcorn), please dehydrate them at a minimum of 165°F to be on the safe side.
Have you tried it yet? If not, I hope you do and let me know how it goes.
Cheers,
Mary
