Main Ingredients
- 200g King Oyster Mushrooms
- 1/2 Green Onion
Seasoning
- 2 Tbsp Perilla Oil
- 1 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 1/2 Tbsp Anchovy Sauce
- 2 Tbsp Water
- 4 Tbsp Ground Perilla Seeds
- Pinch of Salt
- Pinch of Sesame Seeds
- 2 Tbsp Perilla Oil
- 1 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 1/2 Tbsp Anchovy Sauce
- 2 Tbsp Water
- 4 Tbsp Ground Perilla Seeds
- Pinch of Salt
- Pinch of Sesame Seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, finely chop the green onion (about half a stalk). The white and green parts can both be used, and chopping them finely will release a wonderful aroma as they cook.
Step 2
Gently rinse the 200g of King Oyster Mushrooms. Trim off the very bottom ends if they are tough or dirty. Then, tear the mushrooms into bite-sized pieces by hand rather than slicing them. This method helps maintain a pleasant chewy texture.
Step 3
Now, let’s start stir-frying. Heat a pan over medium-low heat and add 2 tablespoons of perilla oil for its rich, nutty flavor. Add the chopped green onion and 1 tablespoon of minced garlic. Sauté until the aromatics are fragrant and lightly golden, being careful not to burn them.
Step 4
Once the green onion and garlic become fragrant and slightly golden, add all the prepared King Oyster Mushrooms to the pan. Continue to stir-fry over medium-low heat until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to soften slightly. This step is key to developing their texture.
Step 5
When the mushrooms have softened a bit, add 1/2 tablespoon of anchovy sauce to season the dish. Anchovy sauce adds a wonderful depth of umami. If you don’t have anchovy sauce, soy sauce can be used as a substitute.
Step 6
Next, add 2 tablespoons of water and 4 tablespoons of ground perilla seeds. Stir well to combine, ensuring the perilla seeds are evenly distributed. Increase the heat to medium-high and stir-fry quickly until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the mushrooms beautifully, giving them a glossy finish.
Step 7
Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add a pinch of salt if necessary to reach your desired flavor level. Remember to add salt gradually to avoid over-salting.
Step 8
Turn off the heat. Sprinkle a pinch of sesame seeds over the top for an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal. Your delicious and savory stir-fried King Oyster Mushrooms with perilla seeds are now ready to be enjoyed!
