Cooking Instructions
Step 1
1. Prepare Mushrooms: Rinse the Gyeonggi mushrooms (Baekseon, Sunjeong, Gonji No. 7) under running water and pat them dry.
2. Prepare Vegetables: Slice the eggplant into 2cm pieces, halving them lengthwise if thick. Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Trim the mini cabbages and leek into similar bite-sized pieces. Peel the sweet potato and dice it into cubes the same size as the leek.
Step 2
3. Prepare Shrimp: Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving the tail on for presentation. Trim the heads.
4. Marinate Vegetables: In a bowl, combine the sliced eggplant, broccoli, mini cabbage, and leek. Season with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, and 1 Tbsp olive oil. Toss well to marinate.
5. Season Shrimp: Lightly season the dried shrimp with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, and a little olive oil, then toss to coat.
Step 3
6. Let Flavors Mingle: Set aside the marinated vegetables and seasoned shrimp separately for about 5 minutes. This resting period allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 4
7. Season Mushrooms: Cut the Gyeonggi mushrooms into large pieces (about 2-3 segments each). Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper, and let them sit for about 5 minutes. This step enhances their natural savory flavor.
Step 5
8. Cook Shrimp and Vegetables: Heat a little olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sear the seasoned shrimp until golden brown. Then, add the marinated vegetables to the pan in order of color and cook until tender-crisp (e.g., shrimp -> sweet potato -> garlic -> broccoli -> cabbage -> leek). A good sequence ensures even cooking.
Step 6
9. Cooking Tips: Use minimal oil when cooking the vegetables. Ensure the sweet potato is cooked through until tender. You can also achieve this in an air fryer or oven. If excess oil accumulates, gently blot it away with a paper towel.
Step 7
10. Prepare Mushrooms for Wrapping and Sandwich Bread: Before skewering, the mushrooms are kept raw. Lightly toast the sandwich bread (like white bread) over medium heat. This helps to contain the moisture from the fillings and gives a pleasant texture.
Step 8
11. Skewer Arrangement (Optional): If serving skewers alongside, arrange the three types of mushrooms in an order that complements their flavors. Typically, firmer ingredients like garlic, eggplant, or broccoli are placed on top for a nice finish.
Step 9
12. Dice Cooked Ingredients: Once the cooked vegetables (excluding mushrooms) have cooled slightly, dice them into bite-sized cubes for easy inclusion in the sandwich. Aim for uniform pieces.
Step 10
13. Assemble the Sandwich: Remove the crusts from your bread slices and flatten them with a rolling pin. Layer the diced vegetables, cooked shrimp, and the prepared raw mushrooms onto the flattened bread. Carefully wrap the ingredients tightly using plastic wrap.
Step 11
14. Secure the Wrap: You can either wrap two sandwiches together for a larger roll or wrap a single one. Press firmly and hold the wrap tightly for about 3 minutes to help it maintain its shape.
Step 12
15. Slice the Sandwich: Cut the wrapped sandwich using the plastic wrap. This technique prevents the sandwich from falling apart and ensures neat slices.
Step 13
16. Serve as a Salad (Optional): For a lighter option, gently tear the cooked vegetables and mushrooms into thin strips. Toss with 1 Tbsp perilla oil and 1/2 tsp salt to create a refreshing side salad. This offers a different way to enjoy the fresh juices and mushroom flavors.
Step 14
17. Add Sauces: Enhance the flavor by drizzling your favorite sauces like Sriracha or mayonnaise over the sandwich before serving.
