- 1/3 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 1 knob of Butter (approx. 10-15g)

- 2 Tbsp Soy Sauce

- 1/2 Tbsp Ginger Syrup (Saenggangcheong)

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the king oyster mushrooms. It’s best to choose mushrooms with plump, thick stems for a great texture. Trim off the ends and the caps. (The removed caps can be used in dishes like doenjang jjigae, soybean paste stew.)
Step 2
Slice the prepared king oyster mushrooms into 5-6 pieces. Slicing them not too thinly will give you a pleasantly chewy texture when cooked. Score the mushroom pieces by making cuts without going all the way through, creating a crosshatch pattern. (Optional: Sprinkle a pinch of salt on the scored mushrooms to season them beforehand for enhanced flavor.)
Step 3
Heat a pan over medium heat, add a little cooking oil, and melt the butter. Once the butter is melted, add the king oyster mushrooms and pan-fry them, flipping them over until they are golden brown and slightly crispy. Cook long enough for the buttery aroma to infuse into the mushrooms.
Step 4
When the mushrooms are nicely browned, add all the pre-mixed sauce ingredients (soy sauce, plum extract, ginger syrup, mirin, minced garlic) to the pan. Stir-fry the mushrooms with the sauce, flipping them until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the mushrooms.
Step 5
Once the sauce has reduced and coated the mushrooms with a nice glaze, your delicious pan-fried king oyster mushrooms with butter are ready! A wonderful aroma will fill your kitchen. Serve immediately while warm for the best taste.
