Expert Tips & FAQ:
Truffle Sauce: If you don’t have truffle sauce, try substituting with truffle oil or truffle salt – just note you will need to adjust the amount used to your taste. Start with 1 tsp and then go from there.
Mushrooms: If you can’t find oyster mushrooms you could try using cremini or brown mushrooms.
