Before you start
Mixing bowls. Julienne peeler. Large deep sided pan
Marinade the mushrooms

- Mix well and leave to marinade for 10 minutes.
Make the slaw
- Cut the red peppers, red onion and carrots into thin pieces (julienne style)
- Place into a bowl and add the sesame oil, soy sauce, maple syrup and the juice of 1 lime
- Mix well and leave to one side for 10 minutes
Cook the mushrooms
- In a mixing bowl, mix together the flour, paprika and a pinch of pepper
- Add the mushrooms and mix well until they are coated
- Place a large pan over a medium heat and add approx. 1 cm of vegetable oil to the base of the pan. Once warm enough to fry, add the mushrooms and cook for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through, turning over as you cook
- Once done, transfer to the plate with the paper towel and leave to one side until needed
Assemble the burgers
