Super Simple Recipe for Deliciously Fried King Oyster Mushrooms with Butter
Mushrooms are not only healthy but also incredibly versatile ingredients used in countless dishes like stews, soups, and stir-fries! They are a staple in my refrigerator. Today, I’m taking out some king oyster mushrooms to create a delicious side dish by seasoning and pan-frying them with butter. The chewy texture of the mushrooms combined with the rich butter aroma makes this a delightful dish, perfect as a side for rice or even as a snack. Follow these easy steps to enjoy the exquisite flavor of the mushrooms themselves.
Main Ingredients- 2 King Oyster Mushrooms (medium-sized)
- 1 Tbsp Butter
Seasoning for Mushrooms- 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Mirin (or Rice Wine)
- 1/2 Tbsp Oligosaccharide (or Corn Syrup)
- 1/2 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- 1 Tbsp Chopped Green Onion
- 1/2 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 3 Tbsp Water
- 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Mirin (or Rice Wine)
- 1/2 Tbsp Oligosaccharide (or Corn Syrup)
- 1/2 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- 1 Tbsp Chopped Green Onion
- 1/2 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 3 Tbsp Water
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the king oyster mushrooms thoroughly. Then, slice them into pieces that are easy to eat or arrange on a plate. A thickness of about 1cm to 1.5cm is ideal for the best texture. Feel free to slice them thicker if you prefer a chewier bite.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine 1 Tbsp chopped green onion, 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic, and 1 Tbsp soy sauce to form the base of your seasoning. Preparing the sauce in advance will make the cooking process much smoother.
Step 3
Next, add 1 Tbsp mirin (this helps remove any gamey odor and adds a nice sheen!), 1/2 Tbsp oligosaccharide (for a subtle sweetness), 1/2 Tbsp sesame oil (for a nutty aroma), and 3 Tbsp water. Stir everything together well to create a complete seasoning sauce. All these ingredients will harmoniously blend to enhance the flavor.
Step 4
Heat a pan and place the sliced king oyster mushrooms in it. Instead of adding all the butter at once, add 1 Tbsp of butter gradually in small portions, placing it on top of the mushrooms intermittently. This method allows the buttery flavor to infuse into the mushrooms evenly, creating a much richer taste.
Step 5
Fry the mushrooms, flipping them occasionally, until they are golden brown and nicely seared on both sides. Once the mushrooms are cooked through, pour the pre-made seasoning sauce around the edges of the pan. It’s important to reduce the heat to low at this stage to allow the sauce to thicken and coat the mushrooms without burning.
Step 6
Once the sauce has reduced and coated the mushrooms with a glossy sheen, turn off the heat. Arrange the finished pan-fried king oyster mushrooms attractively on a serving plate. For a final touch, sprinkle some sesame seeds or toasted sesame seeds on top, if desired, for an extra nutty flavor and appealing presentation. Enjoy your delicious meal!
