Ingredients- 1 packet King Oyster Mushrooms (approx. 3-4 mushrooms)
- 1 swirl cooking oil (approx. 1-2 Tbsp)
- 0.5 Tbsp minced garlic
- 3 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp corn syrup (or honey/maple syrup)
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- 0.5 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 1 packet (about 3-4 mushrooms) of fresh king oyster mushrooms.
Step 2
Trim the base of the mushrooms and gently wipe off any dirt or debris with a paper towel. Wiping them clean instead of washing preserves their excellent texture.
Step 3
Slice the mushrooms into uniform pieces, about 2 cm thick. Slicing them thickly will help maintain their chewy texture after cooking.
Step 4
On one side of each mushroom slice, make a crosshatch pattern by scoring them with a knife or fork, about 2-3mm deep. Scoring helps the sauce penetrate better, enhancing the flavor, and creates a nice visual appeal as they cook. Be careful not to score too deeply, as this can cause the mushrooms to break apart.
Step 5
Heat a pan over high heat and add about 1 swirl of cooking oil. Add all the prepared king oyster mushrooms.
Step 6
Keep the heat on high and stir-fry the mushrooms as if you’re searing them. They will start to release moisture; continue to cook until all the liquid has evaporated and the mushrooms are lightly browned. This process brings out the mushrooms’ unique flavor.
Step 7
Once the mushrooms are nicely browned, reduce the heat to medium. Add 0.5 Tbsp of minced garlic and stir-fry for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until a fragrant garlic aroma is released.
Step 8
When the garlic is fragrant, pour in 3 Tbsp of soy sauce. Stir well to ensure the soy sauce coats the mushrooms evenly and penetrates between them.
Step 9
As the soy sauce starts to reduce and coat the mushrooms, add 2 Tbsp of corn syrup. Quickly toss everything together for a short stir-fry to combine. The corn syrup adds a glossy finish and a touch of sweetness.
Step 10
Turn off the heat. Stir in 1 Tbsp of sesame oil and 0.5 Tbsp of toasted sesame seeds to finish. This combination creates a delightful aroma and nutty flavor.
Step 11
Your perfectly sweet and savory, chewy stir-fried king oyster mushrooms are complete! They make a fantastic side dish for rice. 🙂
