Main Ingredients- 2 King Oyster Mushrooms
- 1 Red Chili (for garnish and mild heat)
- 1 Cheongyang Pepper (for spiciness)
- 1/2 Scallion (for aromatic freshness)
Seasoning- 1/2 Tbsp Fish Sauce (for umami)
- 1 Tbsp Perilla Powder (the key to nutty flavor!)
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil (enhances aroma)
- 1 packet Powdered Vegetable Broth or Anchovy Broth (for depth)
- A pinch of Sesame Seeds (for topping and texture)
- 1/2 Tbsp Fish Sauce (for umami)
- 1 Tbsp Perilla Powder (the key to nutty flavor!)
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil (enhances aroma)
- 1 packet Powdered Vegetable Broth or Anchovy Broth (for depth)
- A pinch of Sesame Seeds (for topping and texture)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the 2 King Oyster Mushrooms thoroughly. Place the whole mushrooms in a microwave-safe container, add about 1-2 tablespoons of water, cover with plastic wrap or a lid, and microwave for 3 minutes until cooked. This step softens the mushrooms and reduces cooking time.
Step 2
Carefully remove the mushrooms from the microwave as they will be hot. Let them cool slightly, then shred them lengthwise into bite-sized pieces. Shredding them thinly makes it easier for the seasoning to adhere evenly, resulting in a more flavorful dish.
Step 3
Now, let’s prepare the vegetables for seasoning. Remove the seeds from the red chili and Cheongyang pepper, then finely mince them. Adjust the amount of Cheongyang pepper to your spice preference. Finely chop the scallion, using both the white and green parts. These minced vegetables will enhance the mushroom’s flavor.
Step 4
In a bowl, combine the shredded King Oyster Mushrooms, minced red chili and Cheongyang pepper, and chopped scallion. Add the seasoning ingredients: 1/2 Tbsp fish sauce, 1 Tbsp perilla powder, 1 Tbsp sesame oil, and 1 packet of powdered broth. Gently mix everything together with your hands until well combined. Ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the mushrooms for the best taste.
Step 5
Transfer the well-mixed King Oyster Mushroom Salad to a serving dish. Finally, sprinkle a pinch of sesame seeds over the top for a nutty aroma and an appealing presentation. You now have a wonderfully chewy and savory King Oyster Mushroom Salad that everyone will love! It’s a perfect side dish for rice or even a snack with a cold drink.
