- 1 Tbsp Oligodang (Korean corn syrup, for glaze and sweetness)
- 0.5 Tbsp Minced Garlic (for a fragrant aroma)
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil (for nutty richness)
- 1 Tbsp Toasted Sesame Seeds (for garnish)
- 1 Tbsp Cooking Oil (for sautéing)
- 3 Tbsp Soy Sauce (for rich umami)
- 2 Tbsp Cooking Wine (for enhanced flavor)
- 1 Tbsp Oligodang (Korean corn syrup, for glaze and sweetness)

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, clean the King Oyster Mushrooms and slice them into bite-sized pieces, about 1cm thick, for a pleasant texture. Thinly slice the leek for its aromatic qualities. Feel free to add other mushrooms like shiitake or enoki for a more complex flavor and texture profile if you like.
Step 2
Heat a deep pan over medium heat and add 1 Tbsp of cooking oil. Once the pan is warm, add 0.5 Tbsp of minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it. Then, add all the prepared King Oyster Mushrooms and stir-fry them together until the surfaces turn lightly golden brown. This process helps to reduce moisture and achieve a chewy texture.
Step 3
Once the mushrooms are partially cooked, add the sliced leeks and stir-fry them together. The leeks’ sweetness and aroma will blend with the mushrooms, creating an even more delicious flavor.
Step 4
When the mushrooms have softened, reduce the heat to medium-low. Now it’s time to add the key seasoning ingredients: 3 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp oligodang, and 2 Tbsp cooking wine. You can also add a pinch of black pepper for extra flavor. Stir-fry everything quickly for about 1-2 minutes, ensuring the sauce evenly coats the mushrooms and soaks in. To prevent the sauce from becoming too dry, briefly turn the heat back up to medium towards the end.
Step 5
Just before turning off the heat, stir in 1 Tbsp of sesame oil and 1 Tbsp of toasted sesame seeds for a nutty finish. The natural moisture released from the mushrooms will make the rice bowl wonderfully moist and glossy.
Step 6
Prepare a fried egg to accompany the rice bowl. Lightly oil a frying pan and fry 2 eggs to your desired doneness. A runny yolk that can be broken and mixed in is also delicious!
Step 7
Serve the warm rice in a bowl. Generously top it with the sautéed King Oyster Mushroom mixture, and then place the freshly fried egg on top. Your delicious King Oyster Mushroom Rice Bowl is now complete! Enjoy your meal.
