Ingredients- 10 fresh shiitake mushrooms
- 1 onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 Tbsp perilla oil (for stir-frying)
- 1/2 Tbsp tuna extract
- 2 Tbsp perilla seed powder
- 1 cup water
- 1 Tbsp oyster sauce
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
1. Prepare the Ingredients: You’ll need 10 fresh shiitake mushrooms, 1 medium onion, and 3 cloves of garlic. For the seasoning and cooking base, have 2 tablespoons of perilla oil, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 1/2 tablespoon of tuna extract, 2 tablespoons of nutty perilla seed powder, and 1 cup of water ready.
Step 2
2. Slice the Ingredients: Trim the tough stems from the shiitake mushrooms and slice them about 0.5 cm thick. Slice the onion into strips and mince or thinly slice the garlic cloves. Proper slicing ensures even cooking and better texture.
Step 3
3. Sauté the Garlic: Heat 2 tablespoons of perilla oil in a heated pan over medium-low heat. Add the sliced garlic and gently sauté until fragrant and lightly golden. This step infuses the oil with a wonderful aroma.
Step 4
4. Stir-fry Mushrooms and Onions: Once the garlic is aromatic, add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and onions to the pan. Increase the heat to medium and stir-fry until the onions become translucent and the mushrooms soften, releasing some moisture.
Step 5
5. Season the Stir-fry: Add 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce and 1/2 tablespoon of tuna extract to the pan. Stir well to combine and continue stir-frying for about 1 minute, allowing the seasonings to coat the vegetables evenly.
Step 6
6. Add the Perilla Powder Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of perilla seed powder with 1 cup of water until smooth, ensuring there are no clumps. Pour this mixture into the pan with the stir-fried ingredients.
Step 7
7. Simmer to Finish: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer until the sauce thickens and becomes slightly glossy, about 3-5 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully and the sauce to coat everything.
Step 8
8. Serve: Transfer the delicious shiitake mushroom and perilla stir-fry to a serving dish. Enjoy it as a healthy and flavorful side dish with your favorite meals.
