INGREDIENTS IN THIS RECIPE
Fresh Lion’s Mane mushroom
Egg or flax egg: To make a flax egg, mix one tablespoon of flaxseed meal with three tablespoons of water. Allow to sit refrigerated for about 10 minutes to thicken.
Panko breadcrumbs: I love panko breadcrumbs in this recipe but you can also use regular breadcrumbs.
Onion: Sweet onion recommended.
Mayonnaise or Vegan Mayonnaise: If you are enjoying the vegan version of this recipe, I recommend this Vegan Mayonnaise.
Worcestershire sauce
Old Bay seasoning: If you don’t have old bay seasoning, you can use Cajun seasoning or Italian seasoning for a slightly different (but still delicious) flavor profile. You might also love my Tempero Baiano Brazilian Spice Blend.
Dijon mustard: You can also use course ground mustard.
Parsley
Salt and pepper
Oil (to fry cakes): Canola, vegetable or olive oil all work well.
Optional Garnish: Lemon wedges
