Fable Meaty Slow-Braised Pulled Shiitake Mushrooms are a richly flavoured, ready-to-use mushroom product designed to bring depth and texture to plant-based cooking. Made with whole shiitake mushrooms that are slowly braised, this product delivers a naturally savoury profile and a pulled texture that works across a wide range of dishes.
The shiitake mushrooms are combined with carefully selected plant-based ingredients to create a balanced, umami-forward base suitable for both quick meals and more considered recipes. The slow-braising process allows the mushrooms to absorb seasoning and moisture, resulting in a tender, fibrous texture that performs well as a centre-of-plate ingredient or as part of layered dishes.
Fable focuses on thoughtful preparation and ingredient functionality rather than heavy processing. This product is intended for cooks seeking a mushroom-based alternative that integrates easily into familiar recipes while offering a distinct, earthy flavour from the shiitake mushrooms themselves.

Additional Information
Shiitake mushrooms have long been valued in cooking for their deep, savoury character and ability to carry flavour. When slow-cooked, their natural fibres soften and separate, creating a texture that works particularly well in pulled-style preparations. This makes them a practical choice for recipes that traditionally rely on shredded or braised components.
Fable’s approach centres on showcasing the mushroom itself rather than masking it. The added oils and seasonings are used to support mouthfeel and consistency while allowing the shiitake flavour to remain central. This makes the product adaptable across cuisines, from Asian-inspired bowls to more familiar comfort-style dishes.
In everyday cooking, these pulled shiitake mushrooms can be paired with roasted vegetables, fresh greens, or simple grains. They work well with sauces and marinades, absorbing additional flavour without losing structure. Home cooks often use them as a filling for tacos or as a topping for flatbreads and pizzas.
