Vegan Chicken-y Type Dish

This was the result of randomly pulling things out of my pantry. The result was eerily like chicken soup and/or chicken pot pie filling. The boy loved it.

4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tsp olive oil
8 oz. oyster mushrooms
1/4 tsp salt
a couple of handfuls of dried bean curd stick (yuba), broken into bits + hot water to rehydrate
2 tablespoons capers
3 hearts of palm, diced
4-5 fresh basil and oregano leaves, torn into bits

Boil water and pour over dried bean curd until it rehydrates.

Saute the garlic and mushrooms in the olive oil. Add salt and let mushrooms cook down. Add capers, hearts of palm, bean curd and basil & oregano. Cook over low heat for 5 minutes or so.
