- A small amount of Green Onion
- A pinch of Sesame Seeds
- A little Cooking Oil
Seasoning Ingredients- 1 Tbsp Gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
- 2 Tbsp Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 3 Tbsp Soy Sauce (brewing soy sauce)
- 1 Tbsp Corn Syrup (or Rice Syrup)
- 1 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 2 Tbsp Water
- 1 Tbsp Gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)

- 3 Tbsp Soy Sauce (brewing soy sauce)
- 1 Tbsp Corn Syrup (or Rice Syrup)
- 1 Tbsp Minced Garlic

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the king oyster mushrooms thoroughly under running water. Pat them completely dry with paper towels or a clean cloth. Trim off the very end of the stem, then slice each mushroom into three equal pieces lengthwise. Slicing them this way helps the sauce penetrate better and creates a more enjoyable texture.
Step 2
Now, let’s prepare the delicious sauce. In a small bowl, combine 1 Tbsp gochugaru, 2 Tbsp gochujang, 3 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp corn syrup (or rice syrup), 1 Tbsp minced garlic, and 2 Tbsp water. Whisk everything together until well combined, ensuring there are no lumps. We’ll add the sesame seeds at the end, so don’t include them yet.
Step 3
Heat a lightly oiled pan over medium-high heat. Add the prepared king oyster mushrooms. Stir-fry them until they turn a nice golden brown. As they cook, the mushrooms will release some moisture; continue cooking until this moisture evaporates and the mushroom surfaces develop a slightly brownish hue. This process enhances their chewy texture and flavor. Once nicely browned, transfer the mushrooms to a separate plate.
Step 4
In the same pan, pour in the prepared sauce. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Once the sauce begins to bubble, let it simmer for a short while to deepen its flavors.
Step 5
When the sauce is gently simmering, add the browned king oyster mushrooms back into the pan.
Step 6
Using a spatula, toss the mushrooms and sauce together until evenly coated. Continue to stir-fry for about 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to fully absorb into the mushrooms. Finally, add a little chopped green onion and mix gently to finish. Your delicious stir-fried king oyster mushrooms are ready!
Step 7
This dish is fantastic served over warm rice! The combination of the wonderfully chewy mushrooms and the savory, slightly sweet and spicy sauce is truly delightful. Be sure to give this king oyster mushroom stir-fry a try!
