Toss the mushrooms in the oil, heat a griddle pan over high heat and grill for 4 minutes per side, until charred and tender.
Rest the mushrooms for 2 minutes, then thickly slice.
Toss the warm mushrooms with the soy sauce, lime juice and chilli flakes in a mixing bowl.
Fold in the toasted rice powder, shallots and spring onions.
