“There is a terrific meaty quality to king oyster mushrooms that is very satisfying and makes for a perfect base for a sandwich or a wrap,” says Seamus Mullen, executive chef of Wanderlust Hollywood.” As someone who doesn’t eat gluten, I’m always looking for great bread alternatives. Sometimes the answer is right in front of you—nori makes a terrific wrap for a gluten-free lunch.”
