Main Ingredients- 4 King Oyster Mushrooms
Seasoning- 1 knob of Butter (approx. 10-15g)
- 1.5 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Oligosaccharide (or corn syrup/honey)
Garnish (Optional)- 0.5 Tbsp Minced Red Bell Pepper
- 0.5 Tbsp Minced Green Chili Pepper
- 1 knob of Butter (approx. 10-15g)
- 1.5 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Oligosaccharide (or corn syrup/honey)
Garnish (Optional)- 0.5 Tbsp Minced Red Bell Pepper
- 0.5 Tbsp Minced Green Chili Pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by trimming off the very bottom base of the king oyster mushrooms.
Step 2
Using a damp paper towel, gently wipe away any dirt or debris from the surface of the mushrooms. You don’t need to peel them.
Step 3
Slice the prepared king oyster mushrooms into bite-sized pieces, about 1.5 to 2 cm thick. Avoid slicing them too thinly, as they will shrink when cooked.
Step 4
King oyster mushrooms tend to shrink as they lose moisture during cooking. For a satisfying chewy texture, it’s best to slice them a bit thicker than you might think.
Step 5
Place the sliced king oyster mushrooms in a dry pan over medium heat. Cook them without any oil first. This initial dry searing helps to release their moisture and develop a pleasantly chewy texture.
Step 6
Once the mushrooms start to turn golden brown, add the knob of butter to one side of the pan. As the butter melts, use tongs or chopsticks to coat the mushrooms evenly with it, or swirl the melted butter around the pan to coat all the mushrooms.
Step 7
Once the butter has coated the mushrooms and released its aroma, gently push the mushrooms to one side of the pan. In the cleared space, add the soy sauce and oligosaccharide, letting them bubble and caramelize slightly to form a sauce base.
Step 8
Reduce the heat to low. Toss the mushrooms with the sauce base and continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes, flipping them gently to ensure they are evenly coated and glazed. Your simple and delicious King Oyster Mushroom Butter Fry is ready!
Step 9
For a delightful touch of color and a hint of spice, finely chop the red bell pepper and green chili pepper and sprinkle them over the finished dish. This adds a lovely visual appeal and a zesty flavor.
