Instructions

1. Make the teriyaki sauce: whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons mirin, 1½ tablespoons maple syrup, 1 teaspoon ginger juice (or grated ginger), and 1½ tablespoons water until well combined.
2. Make the rice-bun glaze: whisk 1½ tablespoons mirin and 1 tablespoon soy sauce together.
3. Make the sriracha mayo: mix 3 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise with sriracha to taste until combined.
4. Clean the mushrooms with a brush and cut off the caps (save them for another dish). Halve the stems crosswise.
5. Boil the stem pieces in salted water for 5 to 8 minutes, until the skin turns from white to grayish. Move them to an ice bath to cool, then drain and pat dry.
6. Slice each stem lengthwise, then continue slicing in a spiral to make a cutlet. Score one side so it uncurls, then pat dry again.
7. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Sear the cutlets for about 4 to 6 minutes total until browned on both sides, pressing with a spatula if they curl.
8. Dip each cutlet in the teriyaki sauce, return it to the pan, and sear until browned and charred. Repeat with another coat if you like. Transfer to a plate and clean the skillet.
9. Shape the rice: line a small straight-sided bowl or ramekin (about 3 inches across) with plastic wrap, add ½ cup cooked cooled sushi rice, and press firmly with the back of a spoon into a patty. Repeat with the rest of the rice.
10. Lightly grease a nonstick skillet and set it over medium-low heat. Add as many patties as fit and cook undisturbed for 5 to 8 minutes until browned. Flip and cook 2 minutes, then brush the browned side with teriyaki sauce and cook another 2 to 3 minutes until slightly charred, basting a couple more times. Cool on a wire rack. Repeat with the remaining patties.
11. Assemble each burger: put a rice patty on a plate, top with avocado slices and a nori sheet, then pile on 2 mushroom cutlets and some sriracha mayo. Close with another rice patty. Repeat for four burgers in total.
