Healthy Plant-Based Herring for New Year's Eve

Begin by cleaning the **mushrooms** thoroughly. If you are using king oyster mushrooms, cut them into small, bite-sized pieces.

Next, heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add a little cooking spray if necessary. Sauté the mushrooms for about **10 minutes** or until they are tender and have released their juices. Set them aside to cool.

Take the **nori sheet** and cut it into small strips to resemble fish. If you prefer, you can also cut it into shapes that aesthetically please you. This will be the base for your dish.

In a small mixing bowl, combine the very finely sliced **red onion** with the **olive oil**, **lemon juice or apple cider vinegar**, **sea salt**, and **soy sauce**. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are fully integrated.

Allow the dressing to sit for about **5-10 minutes** to let the flavors meld together. This will enhance the overall taste of your dish.

In a serving bowl, layer the sautéed **mushrooms** and **nori strips**. Drizzle the prepared dressing over the top, making sure to coat everything evenly.

Mix gently until all components are combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary - you can add more salt or lemon juice depending on your preference.

This plant-based herring can be served immediately or chilled in the refrigerator for an hour before serving. This makes an excellent appetizer that's light but flavorful, perfect for the **New Year's Eve** table.

**Enjoy your healthy and delicious snack with your loved ones!**
