Formula

  • 100g oyster mushrooms
  • 250g water (added as the mushrooms did not release sufficient liquid)
  • 2% salt

Process

  1. Freeze mushrooms, then thaw to draw out water.
  2. Combine mushrooms and water, add 2% salt, and weigh down to keep submerged.

Notes and Observations

  • Freezing and thawing did not draw out much moisture from the oyster mushrooms, though the method worked well previously on creminis. Added water was necessary to ensure adequate coverage.
  • The final flavor profile is distinctly cheese-like, almost parmesan-like, and quite strong.
