Begin by cleaning the mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Make sure any remaining substrate is removed. Then, using a fork or sharp knife, shred the mushrooms lengthwise into thin strips, resembling pulled pork.
Next, sprinkle some salt over the mushrooms. Gently massage the salt into the mushrooms and let them sit for 8-10 minutes. Afterward, squeeze out any excess water and pat-dry the mushrooms.
You have a couple options for cooking:
While the mushrooms bake, stir soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, rice wine vinegar, chili-garlic sauce, pepper, ginger, and sesame oil together in a saucepan; bring to a boil.
Whisk cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of water together in a small bowl until the cornstarch dissolves; pour into boiling soy sauce mixture. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until the sauce is thick, 3 to 5 minutes.
Once the mushrooms have crisped up nicely, remove them from the air fryer or oven and mix them into your sauce. Pour in 1/4 cup of water, let it simmer, then cover the sauce to enhance its flavor and let the mushrooms absorb any lost moisture from baking. About 5 minutes
In a bowl, place a serving of your cooked grains, a generous serving of the pulled mushrooms, and any vegetables or greens you may want.
