My friend and I shared this dish on vegan night (every Wednesday at Gongfu) and
it was a delicious take on pepper-salt tofu!
The mushroom chunks were huge, tender, and juicy. There was just the right amount of batter - not overly #sweetdreamsaremadeofgrease, but just enough. The dipping sauce and fried basil are perfect pairings to add a little bit of extra flavour.
It was $17 but worth the money IMO - it’s a large portion given how big and meaty each chunk is. Plus lion’s mane mushrooms aren’t exactly cheap. I felt I got good value for my money and was happy to support Gongfu making such an effort to help people eat vegan.
