Hi Maryam, I don’t think these would reheat very well, unfortunately. The texture of the mushrooms would change, and the tempeh bacon would burn before the mushrooms were heated through. I do plan to rework this recipe at some point and will try to find a way to make either reheating or prep easier. Stay tuned!

Erin, you are going to soak the sliced mushrooms in hot water for 20 minutes. Take a peek at the recipe card. This softens the mushrooms up so they have a nice soft texture before searing them.

Hi Josh, sorry the consistency is not turning out right for you! The sauce is not thick and creamy—it is quite thin.

I’ve tried twice now and each time the sauce comes out with the oily consistency (and look) of a chili garlic oil, like the kind you’d see in a Thai restaurant. How does yours come out looking so thick and creamy and pink? Thanks

Tried several times with varying degrees of doneness on the bacon, and it broke and was not pliable each time. Ended up crumbling the bacon and using as a garnish. Still tasted great. Used vegan bacon from Whole Foods. Also, needed to torch the scallops to make them look grilled. Tasty recipe, though!

Question: why soak the mushroom stalks in water?

Is King Trumpet the same as King Oyster? I’m a forager, and in the wild, “trumpets” and “oysters” are different. Though, trumpets, a member of the chanterelle family, would be awesome for their sweet buttery flavor — except you’d need the whole mushroom. I’ve never heard of King Oysters — no idea where to get them. So glad to see posts of having tried this!

I’m going to try it with carrot “bacon” though — really don’t like tempeh.
