Main Ingredients
- 2 King Oyster Mushrooms
Sauce (Tablespoon Measurement)
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 0.5 Tbsp oyster sauce
- 0.5 Tbsp sugar
- A pinch of black pepper
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 0.5 Tbsp oyster sauce
- 0.5 Tbsp sugar
- A pinch of black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the delicious sauce for your king oyster mushroom skewers. In a bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 0.5 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 0.5 tablespoon of sugar, and a pinch of black pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed. I personally enjoy a stronger garlic flavor, so I’ve increased the amount of minced garlic slightly – feel free to adjust it to your preference!
Step 2
Wash the fresh king oyster mushrooms thoroughly under running water. Trim off any dirty parts from the base of the mushrooms with a knife for a clean finish.
Step 3
Now, slice the king oyster mushrooms into bite-sized pieces. Slicing them about 1 to 1.5 cm thick will give them a wonderful texture when cooked. Next, we’ll score the mushrooms to help the sauce penetrate deeply. Make criss-cross cuts (# pattern) on both sides of the mushroom slices. (Refer to the picture; scoring both sides thoroughly will yield the best results!)
Step 4
Generously brush the prepared sauce onto the scored king oyster mushrooms. Make sure to coat the cuts and both surfaces of the mushrooms evenly. Unlike pan-frying, the sauce doesn’t directly contact as much surface area in an air fryer, so careful application is key for maximum flavor infusion.
Step 5
If you like, you can add a little extra minced garlic on top. Place the sauced king oyster mushrooms in the air fryer basket. Set the temperature to 160°C (320°F) and cook for 15 minutes. Flipping them halfway through will ensure even cooking.
Step 6
Voila! After 15 minutes, take them out of the air fryer, and your chewy and delicious king oyster mushroom and scallop skewers are ready! Isn’t that incredibly easy? You’ll be amazed at how simple this recipe is! Enjoy your meal!
