How to Prepare Cornmeal-Crusted Oyster Mushroom Po’ Boys [Vegan]

Make the remoulade. Combine the mayo, vinegar, relish, mustard and Cajun seasoning in a small bowl. Cover and place in the fridge until ready to use. Slice the tomato and set aside.
Make the breading. Mix together the panko, flour, cornmeal, paprika, kelp, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne and celery salt in a shallow bowl. Mix the tamari, water and cornstarch together in a second shallow bowl.
Set a wire rack over a pan lined with paper towels.
Heat the oil in a medium frying pan over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes. When the oil is hot, the surface will look wavy or shimmering. Test that the oil is hot by dropping in a bit of flour or breadcrumbs. When it sizzles a lot, the oil is ready. While it heats, trim the oyster mushroom clusters into shrimp-size pieces.
The tamari slurry has a tendency to separate, so stir often to re-combine. Working a few at a time, dunk the mushrooms in the slurry, then coat them in the breading. Fry the mushrooms until crispy and golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes per batch. Turn frequently. Fry them in 2 or 3 batches so you don’t overcrowd the pan.
Place the fried mushrooms on the cooling rack while you fry the rest. Slice the baguette into 2 or 3 pieces and toast them before you fry the last batch of mushrooms. Divide the fried mushrooms between the sandwiches and top with shredded cabbage, tomato, pickles and remoulade.
