Method
Finely shred the cabbage and slice the spring onions.
Whisk the plain flour and kombu dashi together in a large bowl until smooth, then whisk in the aquafaba.
Fold the cabbage and half the spring onion into the batter until every strand is coated.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat, spoon in the batter to form a thick round, and lay the mushroom slices over the top.
Cook for 6 minutes until the underside is golden, then flip carefully and press down gently.
Cook for a further 6 minutes until cooked through and the mushroom is tender.
Slide onto a plate and brush generously with vegan tonkatsu sauce and vegan mayonnaise.
Scatter with nori flakes, pickled ginger and the remaining spring onion to serve.
