- cook the mushrooms 8 minutes.
- Sprinkle with salt and the 5-spice mixture and continue cooking for 2 minutes
- stirring constantly. Keep warm.
- Place hoisin and sriracha sauces in a bowl and mix well.
- In the same pan add oil as needed and fry a few bologna slices, turning

- with the sauce mix and keep warm. Repeat with remaining bologna slices.
- Build the burgers by stacking 4 or 5 bologna slices per base, then top with the
- fried shiitake mushrooms and a healthy amount of kimchi.
- Serve very hot with the remaining sauce on the side.
