Main Ingredients
- 3-4 plump King Oyster Mushrooms
- 1 Red Chili Pepper
- 1 Green Chili Pepper
- 4 Eggs
- 3 Tbsp Pancake Mix (Buchim Garu)
Seasoning & Garnish
- 2 pinches Fine Salt
- 4-5 Tbsp Sunflower Oil (or any cooking oil)
- 2 pinches Fine Salt
- 4-5 Tbsp Sunflower Oil (or any cooking oil)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, select plump and nicely shaped King Oyster Mushrooms. Trim off the tough bottom end, then slice them lengthwise. Aim for a thickness of about 0.5 cm. If they’re too thin, they might lose their chewy texture, and if they’re too thick, they’ll take longer to cook. Getting the thickness right is key for the best texture.
Step 2
Slice the trimmed King Oyster Mushrooms into pieces about 0.5-0.7 cm thick, suitable for eating. This thickness adds a satisfying chewiness and prevents them from falling apart when cooked.
Step 3
In a large bowl, crack in the 4 eggs and add 2 pinches of fine salt. The salt helps to eliminate any eggy smell and seasons the batter. Use a whisk to beat the eggs until they are smooth and well combined, with no streaks.
Step 4
For the garnish, thinly slice the red and green chili peppers after removing the seeds. Slicing them thinly, either crosswise or lengthwise after halving, will make them look attractive and have a softer texture on top of the pancake.
Step 5
Place the sliced King Oyster Mushrooms into a large resealable bag or ziplock bag. Add 3 tablespoons of pancake mix. Seal the bag securely and shake gently. This will evenly coat the mushrooms with a thin layer of flour, helping the egg batter adhere better and making the pancakes crispier.
Step 6
Dip the flour-coated King Oyster Mushrooms into the beaten egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated. Gently shake off any excess egg batter before placing them directly into the hot pan.
Step 7
Heat a frying pan over medium-low heat and add a generous amount of sunflower oil. Arrange the egg-coated mushroom slices in a single layer, making sure they don’t overlap too much. This ensures even cooking. Place a piece of sliced red and green chili pepper on top of each mushroom slice for garnish. Once the bottom side is golden brown, carefully flip the pancakes and cook the other side until golden brown. As soon as you flip them, gently press down with your spatula. This trick helps the chili garnish stick firmly to the pancake. Continue to cook over medium-low heat until both sides are nicely browned.
Step 8
Your chewy and delicious King Oyster Mushroom Pancakes are ready! King Oyster Mushrooms are not only affordable but also packed with flavor and nutrition, making them versatile for stir-fries and stews. However, preparing them as pancakes or grilled is equally delightful. They are less greasy and wonderfully savory, perfect for the whole family to enjoy.
Step 9
Consider making an egg roll with the leftover egg batter. Simply add the remaining chili garnish and some finely chopped vegetables to the batter and cook it like an egg roll. This is a fantastic way to create another delicious side dish from any leftover ingredients. Make sure to utilize everything you have!
