Over the winter break, my best friend came over to Chicago for a visit, and we ended up turning it into a whole foodie trip! We tried out so many things over the course of two weeks that by new years eve, we just lounged around and basked in our food high. Even so, the one thing that caught my best friend’s heart and made us go for seconds is Shake Shack’s ‘Shroom Burger. But I totally understand how she feels…cause I’m a sucker for it too!

So here’s my version of the veggie burger that’s inspired by Shake Shack’s! It might take you some time to prep everything, but I promise, the end ensemble will make it all worth your while.

Cheesy ‘Shroom Burger

The core of the ‘Shroom Burger is of course, the mushroom. It’s sliced in half horizontally, then loaded with a mixture of delicious oozing cheese. The mushroom is then coated in panko breadcrumbs, then deep-fried to perfection.

Serve the mushroom patty between two toasted buns with some tomato slices, a cheese slice (is there ever a bad time for more cheese?), lettuce and the special creamy sauce. And voila! A veggie burger of your dreams.

NOTES FOR PORTOBELLO ‘SHROOM BURGER

  • Cheese – I used shredded muenster and sharp cheddar cheese for the shroom patty.
  • Melt cheese – If you have a blow torch, melt the slice of cheese or melt it for 20 seconds in the microwave.

Ingredients
  

Cheesy Shroom

  • 2 large portobello mushrooms
  • 3/4 cup muenster cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 egg yolk use the egg whites for the dredging
  • 1 tsp flour
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

Sauce

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 tbsp ketchup
  • 1/2 tbsp mustard
  • 1/2 tbsp sweet relish
  • 1/2 tbsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes optional

Other ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1.5 cups panko crumbs
  • 2 burger buns
  • lettuce
  • tomato sliced
  • cheddar/American cheese slices

Instructions
 

Cheesy Shroom

  • Preheat oven to 400 F.
  • Remove the stem of the portobello mushrooms or cut the stem so it's not sticking out and rinse the mushroom thoroughly.
  • Pat dry and place on a baking tray (preferably baking rack) and season both sides of mushroom with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until mushroom is tender.
  • Add egg yolk and flour to a bowl and season with pepper. Whisk until well combined.
  • Add the 2 cheese in the same bowl. Mix until well combined.
  • Once the mushrooms are cooked and have cooled, slice the mushrooms in half horizontally (through the belly) to get two mushroom "patties".
  • Take half of the cheese mixture and shape it into a hockey puck the same size as the mushroom.
  • Place the cheese puck in between the two halves of the first mushroom. Make sure the cheese mixture does not spill out the sides.
  • Wrap tightly with saran wrap so it stays in shape and freeze for at least 30 minutes.

Dredging and Frying

  • Break an egg and add the egg whites from before. Whisk and prepare the flour and panko crumbs in separate trays for dredging.
  • Heat up oil in a pot over medium heat for deep frying.
  • Take one cheesy shroom and coat evenly with flour, the egg then panko crumbs. Repeat with the other mushroom.
  • Deep fry for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Remove from oil and place on a cooling rack.

Sauce

  • Mix all the ingredients for the sauce in a bowl.

Assembling

  • Toast the burger buns and spread a generous amount of the sauce on both sides.
  • Place the shroom burger on the bottom part of the burger bun and then a slice of cheese, lettuce, a slice of tomato and the top burger bun. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

*If you have a blow torch, melt the slice of cheese or melt it for 20 seconds in the microwave.

The best pizza in the city where pizza was invente The best pizza in the city where pizza was invented @farahjeats 🍕 
📍Pizzeria Da Michele, Naples, Italy 
📍 Pizzeria D’angeli, Naples, Italy
We got pizza from one of the oldest pizzerias in Naples, Italy and it didn’t disappoint. We got there right when it opened and there was already a line. We ended up getting the pizzas to-go and ate it on the hood of our rental car. Each box of pizza was only €5 and we got every item on the menu (it was only a 4 item menu anyway 😂). While waiting in line, the smell of the wood fired pizza was sooo good we were so hungry by the time we got our orders. We got pizzas from across the street too just to compare. There was no line at that restaurant and you could easily get a table. It was a little bit more expensive per pizza but still affordable. Both pizzas were delicious! Still dreaming about it till this day 🥲
Fun fact: Eat, Pray, Love was filmed at Pizzeria Da Michele!

Mee (mie) goreng, a quick and easy stir fried noodles recipe that’s great for lunch or dinner. Popular in Malaysia and neighboring countries like Indonesia and Singapore— with each country having their own version of it. Chewy noodles infused with spicy, tangy and savory flavors, and ready within 30 minutes!
This is definitely not an authentic recipe but a simplified version that my mother-in-law makes often and now a recipe that I make quite a lot for a quick breakfast using ingredients easily accessible to us here. It definitely hits the spot! Feel free to add protein of your choice to this dish or just add a fried egg on top!

Repost because some people said there was no audio yesterday 🥲
Try these Crispy Air Fried Crab Stick Crackers for size. A classic snack that could almost always be seen during Chinese New Year festivities in Malaysia. All you need are some crab sticks, a bit of seasoning, and a few tablespoons of oil!
This is such an easy and addictive snack. I always have to make a lot if I’m sharing because I tend to finish the first batch all by myself 😂

Ramadan recipe #21 Rendang Ayam (Dry Chicken Cocon Ramadan recipe #21 Rendang Ayam (Dry Chicken Coconut Curry) @farahjeats 
Save and share this flavorful and delicious recipe!
Ending my Ramadan series with one of the best dishes. This is a dish that’s traditionally served during Eid/Raya in Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. Every family usually has their own version of this. It’s usually served with nasi impit (cubed rice), lemang or pulut kuning (turmeric glutinous rice) but also just as good with white rice. 
Making this is a truly a labor of love especially when you make big batches. It can take hours! Families will cook this the night before Eid so the dish will be ready in time for the big celebration. The whole house will usually smell like rendang when this is made and honestly, one of the best smells that reminds me of such great and fond memories. 
This month just flew by— thanks so much for tuning in. I’ll be back with my usual twice a week recipes starting next week 💛
