Most of the time, I always choose Philly chicken cheesesteak in the restaurants. I’m kind of addicted to its juicy, cheesy texture and its caramelized flavors. But being in the diet mood for these days, I made my own vegan mushroom Philly cheesesteak.
Consciously removed the cheese from the ingredients, so it is no longer called ‘cheesesteak’. But you need to believe me, this recipe nowhere compromises with the taste though it does not include cheese.
