Delicious King Oyster Mushroom Braised Dish
We’ve made a mouth-watering braised dish using king oyster mushrooms that will tantalize your taste buds.
Main Ingredients- 3 packs King Oyster Mushrooms (approx. 450g)
- 2 chili peppers (optional, for a touch of heat)
- 1 handful Garlic cloves (approx. 10-15 cloves)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, lightly rinse the king oyster mushrooms and pat them dry. Avoid washing too vigorously, as this can diminish their delicate aroma.
Step 2
Cut the prepared king oyster mushrooms into bite-sized pieces. Thicker mushrooms can be halved lengthwise, while standard ones can be cut into 2-3 segments. This ensures even seasoning and a pleasant texture.
Step 3
Prepare the garlic by lightly smashing it with the side of a knife or by slicing it thinly. Slice the chili peppers diagonally for an appealing look and a hint of spiciness. You can omit or adjust the amount of chili if you prefer a milder flavor.
Step 4
Now, let’s make the braising sauce. In a pot or deep pan, combine 2 cups of anchovy-kelp broth, 100ml of soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Stir well. This golden ratio sauce base will enhance the mushroom’s natural flavor.
Step 5
Once the sauce begins to boil, add the prepared king oyster mushrooms, minced garlic, and sliced chili peppers. Simmer over medium-low heat, allowing the mushrooms to absorb the soy sauce. Stir occasionally to ensure even coating.
Step 6
After about 10 minutes of simmering, the mushrooms will start to develop a rich, appealing color. When the mushrooms have well absorbed the sauce and are flavorful, stir in 1 tablespoon of corn syrup. Cook for another minute until glossy, then turn off the heat. Corn syrup adds sweetness and a beautiful sheen.
Step 7
Transfer the finished king oyster mushroom jorim to a serving dish. It makes a fantastic side dish for rice! Served over warm rice, it’s absolutely delicious. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for several days.
