Ingredients for King Oyster Mushroom Salad- 300g King Oyster Mushrooms (trim off the tough ends)
- A small amount of Carrot (thinly julienned)
- 1 Cheongyang Pepper (seeds removed, thinly julienned)
- 1/4 tsp minced garlic
- About 3 pinches of salt (adjust to taste)
- 1.5 Tbsp perilla powder
- 0.5 Tbsp perilla oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, trim the tough bottom ends off the King Oyster Mushrooms and tear them into bite-sized pieces. Bring a pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Blanch the mushrooms for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until slightly tender. Immediately rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Squeeze out as much water as possible by hand. Thinly julienne the carrot and the Cheongyang pepper after removing its seeds.
Step 2
Place the squeezed King Oyster Mushrooms in a bowl. Add the minced garlic, julienned carrot, julienned Cheongyang pepper, and about 3 pinches of salt. Gently mix everything together to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 3
Now, add the perilla powder (1.5 Tbsp) to the bowl. Gently toss again to evenly coat the mushrooms, being careful not to mash them.
Step 4
Finally, drizzle in the perilla oil (0.5 Tbsp) and give it a gentle toss to coat the mushrooms. This adds a wonderful nutty aroma. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the mushrooms mushy.
Step 5
Your delicious King Oyster Mushroom salad with perilla powder is ready! It’s packed with a delightful nutty fragrance and a satisfying chewy texture. Enjoy this flavorful and healthy side dish!
