Gok’s tip: Fermented soya beans can be found online at most online supermarkets, soya beans are fermented with salt, soak in warm water for 2 minutes before cooking and then drain. This takes away the excess saltiness.
You can substitute the mushrooms for any protein, fried tofu or meat replacement product.
