Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, if you’ve already made burdock root jorim, set aside the cooked burdock pieces. The braising sauce left behind will add a deep, complex flavor to your king oyster mushrooms. (If using store-bought burdock root braising sauce, you can skip this step.)
Step 2
Wash the king oyster mushrooms thoroughly. Cut them into substantial, bite-sized pieces, about 1.5-2 cm thick. Cutting them slightly thicker will help maintain a pleasant chewy texture.
Step 3
In a pan, combine the cut king oyster mushrooms and the burdock root braising sauce. Over medium-low heat, let the mushrooms simmer and absorb the sauce. Stir occasionally to ensure the mushrooms are evenly coated and colored. Simmer for about 5-7 minutes until tender.
Step 4
Once the mushrooms are tender and have absorbed some of the sauce, add the sliced almonds to the pan. Stir-fry them lightly with the mushrooms. The almonds will add a lovely nutty aroma and flavor, enhancing the overall taste of the dish.
Step 5
Finally, stir in 1 tablespoon of rice syrup (jocheong) and mix quickly to ensure the seasoning is well combined. Adding the syrup just before turning off the heat prevents it from becoming too sweet or burning. Once the heat is off, drizzle with a little sesame oil and sprinkle generously with sesame seeds to finish. Enjoy this delicious and flavorful King Oyster Mushroom Jorim with your rice!
