Main Ingredients
- 2 King Oyster Mushrooms
- 2 Imitation Crab Sticks (Surimi)
- 2 slices Pickled Radish (Danmuji)
- 1 Korean Green Chili Pepper (or cucumber, bell pepper, etc.)
- 3-4 Tbsp All-Purpose Flour
- 2 Eggs (for egg wash)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the King Oyster Mushrooms thoroughly. Then, slice them lengthwise into 2-3 pieces, about 3-4 cm long, suitable for skewering. This cutting method enhances their chewy texture when cooked.
Step 2
Cut the imitation crab sticks to the same length and thickness as the sliced mushrooms. Slice the pickled radish similarly. Cutting all ingredients to a uniform size makes the skewers look appealing and easier to eat.
Step 3
Prepare the chili pepper for a touch of spice and flavor. Remove the seeds and cut it to a similar length as the other ingredients. If you prefer less heat, substitute with other colorful vegetables like bell peppers or cucumber, or omit it entirely. (Tip: Using the white part of green onions adds extra flavor.)
Step 4
So far, we have prepared King Oyster Mushrooms, imitation crab sticks, pickled radish, and chili peppers. Feel free to use other ingredients you have on hand, such as rice cakes, ham, or zucchini, to create your own unique skewers. The key is to cut all ingredients to a similar size.
Step 5
Thread the prepared ingredients (King Oyster Mushrooms, imitation crab sticks, pickled radish, chili pepper/vegetables) onto skewers, alternating them for a visually appealing arrangement. Considering the color combinations will make the skewers even more appetizing.
Step 6
If the ingredients on the skewers are uneven in length, trim the protruding ends slightly to create a neat finish. This step ensures your skewers look polished and professional.
Step 7
If you have fewer ingredients or if the skewers feel loose, you can use toothpicks to secure the ingredients in place. This simple trick prevents the ingredients from falling apart during cooking.
Step 8
Before grilling, lightly coat each skewer with all-purpose flour. This helps the egg wash adhere better and creates a slightly crispy exterior when cooked.
Step 9
Dip the floured skewers into the beaten egg mixture, ensuring they are fully coated. Generously apply the egg wash to cover all sides of the ingredients.
Step 10
Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Carefully place the egg-coated skewers in the hot pan and cook them, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides. Keep the heat moderate to prevent burning and ensure they are cooked through. Enjoy your delicious King Oyster Mushroom Skewers!
