The Ultimate Jerk- BBQ Vegan Pulled "Pork"

We originally made this dish with just jackfruit BUT it was missing something. It needed that extra bite; so we added in some king oyster mushrooms. The combination of the two are BANGIN and not to mention the combination of the jerk seasonings and BBQ sauce... OMG! If you like your food spicy like we do, go crazy with the cayenne pepper IF NOT hold back on the cayenne pepper. Either way we hope you guys enjoy it as much as we do and be sure to share with your family and friends. :-)
