Ingredients- 1 packet of 3-Minute Jjajang sauce
- 1-2 King oyster mushrooms
- 2 Shiitake mushrooms
- 150g White cap mushrooms (Button mushrooms)
- 1 packet Enoki mushrooms
- 3-4 Tbsp Cooking oil
- 1 tsp Black pepper (coarsely ground)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Feel free to use any mushrooms you have on hand or prefer! King oyster, shiitake, white cap, and enoki mushrooms are great choices for a delightful mix of textures and flavors.
Step 2
Slice the white cap mushrooms about 1 cm thick, starting from the stem end. This ensures they cook evenly and become tender.
Step 3
Trim off the tough bottom ends of the white cap mushrooms. This makes them more enjoyable to eat.
Step 4
Generously coat a grill pan or frying pan with 3-4 tablespoons of cooking oil over medium-high heat. This prevents sticking and helps the mushrooms achieve a beautiful golden-brown color.
Step 5
Arrange the prepared mushrooms in a single layer on the hot pan, making sure they don’t overlap. Grill them until they are nicely browned and slightly tender on both sides. This step brings out their natural sweetness and aroma.
Step 6
For a spicier kick, you can use a Sichuan-style 3-minute Jjajang sauce. However, any regular 3-minute Jjajang sauce will yield a delicious result. Choose your favorite!
Step 7
While the mushrooms are grilling, warm the 3-minute Jjajang sauce in boiling water according to the package instructions, typically for about 3 minutes. Having the sauce warm will speed up the final assembly.
Step 8
The mushrooms will look incredibly appetizing as they grill! You might be tempted to eat them as they are, but let’s continue to create our masterpiece: the Jjajang Mushroom Stir-fry.
Step 9
Once the mushrooms are perfectly grilled, pour the warmed Jjajang sauce generously over them. Ensure the sauce coats all the mushrooms for maximum flavor.
Step 10
Turn off the heat. If desired, coarsely grind some black pepper over the dish. The pungent aroma of the pepper will beautifully complement the rich Jjajang flavor.
Step 11
And there you have it – your delicious Sichuan Jjajang Mushroom Stir-fry (or regular Jjajang Mushroom Stir-fry) is ready! It looks as good as it smells.
Step 12
Start by trying the enoki mushrooms, lightly coated in sauce. You’ll be amazed by the nutty oiliness combined with the distinct fragrance of enoki, and that wonderfully crisp yet slightly chewy texture!
Step 13
The king oyster mushrooms are wonderfully chewy, with the peppery notes from the ground pepper adding a delightful contrast. Their natural sweetness becomes more pronounced with each bite.
Step 14
Take a bite of the white cap mushrooms, and experience their juicy interiors and satisfyingly firm texture. They release their delicious mushroom broth with every chew – truly delightful!
Step 15
The shiitake mushrooms, thoroughly coated in Jjajang sauce, offer a soft yet delightfully chewy bite. It’s true that shiitake mushrooms shine when cooked whole, allowing their deep umami flavor to fully develop!
Step 16
Now, mix the remaining mushrooms with the Jjajang sauce and enjoy every bite! This is a fantastic way to savor the rich Jjajang flavor without the noodles or rice. It’s a satisfying and delicious meal.
