Main Ingredients- 1 pack King Oyster Mushrooms (approx. 300g)
- 2 Tbsp Butter
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the King Oyster Mushrooms: Gently wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp cloth. Trim off the ends if necessary. Slice the mushrooms into thick, bite-sized pieces, about 1.5 to 2 cm (around 0.6 to 0.8 inches) thick. Thicker slices will provide a more satisfying chewy texture after cooking.
Step 2
Make the Spicy Glaze: In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, minced chili, gochugaru, salt, cooking sake (or mirin), sesame oil, oligodang (or honey), water, and gochujang. Whisk everything together until well combined and smooth. This will be your flavorful glaze.
Step 3
Sear the Mushrooms: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and let it melt. Once the butter is melted and slightly foamy, add the sliced king oyster mushrooms in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and slightly tender. Searing them first develops a wonderful flavor and texture.
Step 4
Simmer the Glaze: Push the seared mushrooms to one side of the skillet, or in a separate small saucepan, pour in the prepared spicy glaze. Bring the glaze to a gentle simmer over low heat and let it cook for about 1-2 minutes, just until it slightly thickens. Be careful not to burn the glaze.
Step 5
Combine and Toss: Add the seared mushrooms back into the skillet with the simmering glaze. Gently toss the mushrooms to coat them evenly with the glaze. Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the mushrooms to become glossy.
Step 6
Serve: Transfer the delicious spicy and sweet roasted king oyster mushrooms to a serving plate. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds if desired. Enjoy this delightful dish immediately!
