The karaage mushroom sandwich is our 100% plant-based take on the Wishbone classic. Oyster mushrooms get the same overnight marinade and Japanese karaage as our chicken, fried light and crisp to order, on a vegan sourdough bun. Proof that vegan food does not mean giving up the crunch.
Here is exactly what goes into it, how we make it, and where to get one in Lisbon.
What goes into the karaage mushroom sandwich
Marinated oyster mushrooms fried karaage style, vegan kewpie mayo, fresh slaw, and house pickles on a vegan sourdough bun. Everything the chicken sandwich has, fully plant-based.
The price is €11.50, the same as the chicken. You can see it alongside everything else on our karaage menu. Prefer chicken over rice? Try the karaage chicken bowl.
How we make it
The oyster mushrooms are marinated overnight in our Japanese karaage marinade, then coated light and fried the moment you order. No heat lamps, no sogginess, just a crust that shatters.
The vegan kewpie, slaw, and pickles are made in house too. Prepared fresh daily in our Bica kitchen at Rua da Boavista 14.
Why a karaage mushroom sandwich works
Oyster mushrooms have a meaty texture that takes to frying beautifully, so the karaage coating gives you the same shattering crunch as the chicken. It is a vegan sandwich that stands on its own, not a compromise.
