Preparing Crispy Rice
- Preheat the oven to 400?F (200?C) fan-forced. Combine the cooked rice and chili oil on a large baking tray lined with baking paper. Spread into a thin layer and bake for 30 minutes, stirring halfway. Once cooled, crush the rice to avoid large clumps.

Preparing the Mushrooms
- Separate the caps and stems of the king oyster mushrooms. Slice the caps and shred the stems. Chop the base of the shimeji mushrooms to separate them.

- In a large lidded container, combine ? tbsp gochujang, 2 tsp tamari, ? tbsp maple syrup, and 1 tsp rice vinegar. Add the mushrooms, close the lid, and shake well to coat them evenly.

- In a large pan over medium heat, add the mushrooms and cook for about 10 minutes until juices are released. Add the sesame oil, stir, and cook for 2 minutes without stirring. Stir again and cook for another 2 minutes undisturbed to brown further.

Making the Sauce
- In a small blender, add peanut butter, ginger, garlic, lime juice, tamari, maple syrup, dairy-free milk, and 1 tsp gochujang. Blend until smooth, or mince the ginger and garlic, then whisk with the other ingredients.

Assembling the Salad
- In two bowls, divide the edamame, cucumber, spring onion, avocado, mint, mushrooms, and crispy rice. Drizzle with peanut sauce and enjoy!
