Main Ingredients
- 7 Shiitake mushrooms
Jangjorim Sauce
- 5 Tbsp soy sauce
- 3 Tbsp sugar
- 200ml water
- 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic
- 3 Cheongyang peppers
- A pinch of sesame seeds
- 5 Tbsp soy sauce
- 3 Tbsp sugar
- 200ml water
- 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic
- 3 Cheongyang peppers
- A pinch of sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 7 shiitake mushrooms. Wash them thoroughly under running water to remove any debris.
Step 2
After washing, pat the shiitake mushrooms dry and then slice them into bite-sized pieces. If you slice them too thinly, the chewy texture might be compromised, so aim for a moderate size.
Step 3
Now it’s time to make the Jangjorim sauce. Pour 5 tablespoons of soy sauce into a pot.
Step 4
Next, add 3 tablespoons of sugar to bring in the sweetness.
Step 5
Pour in 200ml of water and stir to ensure the soy sauce and sugar dissolve well.
Step 6
Add 1/2 tablespoon of minced garlic for an extra layer of umami. If you’re not a fan of strong garlic flavor, feel free to reduce the amount slightly.
Step 7
Mix all the sauce ingredients well with a spatula, then bring it to a boil over high heat. Once the sauce starts to boil, reduce the heat to medium.
Step 8
Add all the sliced shiitake mushrooms (7 of them) to the pot.
Step 9
Stir well to ensure the mushrooms are evenly coated with the sauce. The mushrooms will absorb the seasoning and develop a chewy texture as they cook.
Step 10
If you’d like a touch of spiciness, add 3 roughly chopped Cheongyang peppers. You can adjust the spiciness according to your preference.
Step 11
Finally, sprinkle a pinch of sesame seeds for added nuttiness. The sesame seeds act as a garnish and also contribute a lovely aroma.
Step 12
Your delicious Shiitake Mushroom Jangjorim is now complete! It makes a fantastic side dish to enjoy with a warm bowl of rice.
