Teriyaki Mushroom Burger

This is a delicious easy to make vegan burger. Portobello mushrooms have a naturally meaty texture and are robust enough to be griddled coated in a gluten free teriyaki sauce. You can use guacamole or vegan mayo for a topping with plenty of veggies too. Melted vegan cheese would also be delicious.
