Steps:

• For the vegan pepper jack: Dice the jalapeño and sauté in a pan in the oil with the red pepper flakes on medium heat.
• Meanwhile, in a saucepan, add the soy milk, tapioca flour, kappa carrageenan and salt. Start cooking at medium heat until it starts to thicken.
• Slowly add the coconut oil to the soy milk mixture. Emulsify with an immersion blender to blend until the oil and liquid fuse together, then add the apple cider vinegar, lemon juice and nutritional yeast, whisking. Fold in the jalapeño mixture until fully mixed, then scrape it into a 5-by-9-inch bread pan or cheese mold. Let set in the fridge for 8 hours.
• For the vegan mayo: With an immersion blender, emulsify the soy milk, lemon juice, agave, mustard powder, salt and vinegar in a bowl for 30 seconds, then add the vegetable oil, continuing to emulsify on high until the liquid thickens.
• For the horseradish mayo: Mix the horseradish, Worcestershire, garlic powder, salt and 2 cups vegan mayo in a small bowl.
• For the chipotle mayo: Mix the chipotles, lemon juice and 1 cup vegan mayo a in small bowl.
• For the mushrooms: Mix together the flour and panko in a bowl. Dredge the oyster mushrooms in the unsweetened soy milk followed by the panko mixture.
• Bring the oil to 350 degrees F in a deep-fryer or Dutch oven fitted with a deep-fry thermometer.
• Fry 5 to 8 mushroom petals until golden brown and crispy, about 4 minutes on each side.
• Slice the cheese 1/2-inch-thick (or however thin you like it) and place it on the buns.
• Put a pan on a burner on medium-low heat.
• Place the bun and cheese face down in the pan to melt the cheese until lightly toasted brown.
• Spread some horseradish mayo, 5 dill pickles, oyster mushrooms, red cabbage, chipotle mayo and the cheesy bun top. (Save remaining mushrooms and sauces for another use; see Cook's Notes.) Enjoy.

Steps:

• Toast before eating over charcoal in miniature hibachi.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F.
• Cut french loaf in half lengthwise and place in oven for 4-5 minutes or until LIGHTY toasted. Spread butter on both the inside halves of toasted bread. It should melt on hot bread.
• In a sauce pan whisk the vegetable oil with the flour on med-high heat for about 5 minutes or until just lightly browned. Add your beef au jus to your roux and whisk until it thickens slightly- about 1 minute. Should only be thick enough to lightly coat the back of a spoon, add more stock/au jus to thin out a bit if needed.
• Toss sliced roast beef with thin gravy until evenly coated and heated through.
• Spread mayo on top inside half of buttered and toasted french loaf.
• Place dill pickles on bottom inside half of toasted buttered french loaf.
• Evenly place roasted beef on top of dill pickles with tongs.
• Add lettuce and tomato.
• You may also add american or swiss cheese and or hot sauce.

• Hint- you can make ANY poboy be it fried oyster, fried shrimp, fried catfish, grilled chicken breast, french fries, chicken parm, meatloaf, hamburger, smoked sausage you name it! Just follow the bread toasting and buttering instructions, and make sure you "dress" it with lettuce, tomato, mayo and dill pickles! You can eat it "undressed" also. It's more about the type of bread and using cajun/creole recipes of fried seafood or meats in the main filling. The traditional cheeses used are swiss, american, and provolone. Hot sauce and cocktail sauce for fried seafood. Ketchup is often used as a condiment also.
