Hi Khalid, Maitake may go by the name "Hen of the Woods" there. Porcini is another mushroom that has a very meaty flavor. If neither of those are available then just look for a mushroom that has a lot of umami.

I'm really looking forward to trying this recipe. However in Australia it is very hard to source Maitake Mushrooms. Are there any you recommend we could substitute and still achieve a similar umami flavour ?

Thanks,
Khalid

Hi Kathy, I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed this! That's my goal with my plant-based recipes. To make it just as good as the meat-based original. I think it's the only way we can get the world to eat less meat. 😀

This Vegan Mapo Tofu is so delicious that it deserves the attention of meat lovers! The mushrooms marinated and spiced in this way make a sauce every bit as delectable and craveable as the meat version. As much as I love pork, I find this dish equally enjoyable. And it's healthier. I'm sure I'll be cooking both versions.
